Definition:
|
atom a3 = remainder(atom a1, atom a2)
|
Description:
|
Compute the remainder after dividing a1 by a2. The result will
have the same sign as a1, and the magnitude of the result will
be less than the magnitude of a2.
|
Comments:
|
This function may be applied to an atom or sq_rmdr() to all elements
of a sequence. The rules for
sequence operations apply.
|
Example 1:
|
a = remainder(9, 4)
-- a is 1
|
Example 2:
|
s = sq_rmdr({81, -3.5, -9, 5.5}, {8, -1.7, 2, -4})
-- s is {1, -0.1, -1, 1.5}
|
Example 3:
|
s = sq_rmdr({17, 12, 34}, 16)
-- s is {1, 12, 2}
|
Example 4:
|
s = sq_rmdr(16, {2, 3, 5})
-- s is {0, 1, 1}
