EuclidMod

Returns a remainder that is never negative, whatever the signs.

Syntax

EuclidMod( byval a as T, byval b as T ) as T

Examples

#import "std/numeric"
using numeric

'' The remainder that is ALWAYS NON-NEGATIVE, whatever the signs
dim as int32 a = -1, b = 5
print EuclidMod( a, b )      '' 4

dim as int32 c = -1, d = -5
print EuclidMod( c, d )      '' 4 -- still non-negative
print FloorMod( c, d )       '' -1 -- follows the divisor's sign instead
