Talk:modulo

Don't different programming languages handle the modulo function differently for negative numbers? How detailed should this entry be? --Connel MacKenzie 06:37, 10 December 2006 (UTC)


 * Yes. I think Modulo_operation can handle the details well enough. We might say something like:
 * (programming languages) An operation on numbers, typically defined as $$modulo(x,m) = x - m \left ( trunc \left ( \frac{x}{m} \right ) \right)$$.

Is there a derivation?
