Quick Question: Writing equation with mod function

I'm trying to interpret this equation: z = (x + y) % 26

to MATLAB formatting. The % is modulus division, so I know I'm supposed to use the mod function, but I'm not too certain how to. Is this correct?

 z = (x + y)*mod(26, 0);

I read the documentation on mod functions but I'm still not sure what it does. Clarification would be appreciated.

Answer 1

[TAB]

 z = mod((x + y), 26);

Note that the brackets around x + y are unnecessary and in my opinion impede readability:

z = mod(x + y, 26);
