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 w: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?
