modulo(a, b) returns the of a / b. (b decides the sign of the modulo)
( see remainder vs. modulo vs. mod for more info)
replit：
// ⭐️ modulo: r = a - b*q // ------------------------ // • r has same sign as b. // (that is, `b` decides the "sign" of the result) function modulo(a, b) { return ((a % b) + b) % b }
💈範例：
// remainder (a % b) //┌─── `a` decides the "sign" ⭐️ //│ 5 % 3, // 2 5 % -3, // 2 -5 % 3, // -2 -5 % -3, // -2 // ⭐️ modulo(a, b) // ┌─── `b` decides the "sign" ⭐️ // │ modulo( 5, 3), // 2 modulo( 5, -3), // -1 modulo(-5, 3), // 1 modulo(-5, -3), // -2 modulo(6.4, 2.3), // 1.8000000000000007 // mod(a, b) (in math) // ┌─── always >= 0 ⭐️ // │ mod( 5, 3), // 2 mod( 5, -3), // 2 mod(-5, 3), // 1 mod(-5, -3), // 1
