Just a heads up: Python (the reference implementation) is one of those languages whose modulo operator returns the same sign as the divisor. In most languages, the modulo operator returns the same sign as the dividend. You'll get different output than Python when using the latter type of modulo operator. I'm getting the same output as Python when I use a modulo function that always returns positive results. --[[User:Chunes|Chunes]] ([[User talk:Chunes|talk]]) 10:35, 14 August 2020 (UTC) |

Modulo strikes again
Just a heads up: Python (the reference implementation) is one of those languages whose modulo operator returns the same sign as the divisor. In most languages, the modulo operator returns the same sign as the dividend. You'll get different output than Python when using the latter type of modulo operator. I'm getting the same output as Python when I use a modulo function that always returns positive results. --Chunes (talk) 10:35, 14 August 2020 (UTC)
