Why using MOD in this manner does not show any errors?

422864Aug 27 2005 — edited Aug 27 2005
Hi,
I know that this may be funny but I use MOD function in a wrong manner such as this: 11 MOD 4 within a function.It compiled successfully without any errors.Then I recalled the right syntax: MOD(11,4) and use it and ofcourse it compiled successfully.I tried this: 
select (11 mod 4) from dual;
And I got:ORA-00907: missing right parenthesis.
I surprised that why this did not throw any error within a function?Is there any other meaning or usage for MOD function that I don't know?Just curious!
-Regards
