: Yes, I wrongly referred to the quotient instead of the remainder. The sign of the result (for division) is taken from the 2nd operand (the divisor), the remainder's sign is taken from the 1st operand. I'll change the comment in the output to reflect this. -- [[User:Gerard Schildberger|Gerard Schildberger]] 18:30, 26 August 2012 (UTC) |

Requiring user input seems like task cruft to me. --Showell 02:08, 26 February 2012 (UTC)
Python
think it's missing the exponentiation operator "**" requested by Task.--Billymac00 04:12, 3 January 2011 (UTC)
