Function Reference
— Mapping Function: mod (x, y)

Compute modulo function. Conceptually this is given by

          x - y .* floor (x ./ y)

and is written in a manner that the correct modulus is returned for integer types. This function handles negative values correctly. That is mod (-1, 3) is 2, not -1 as rem (-1, 3) returns. Also, mod (x, 0) returns x.

An error message is printed if the dimensions of the arguments do not agree, or if either of the arguments is complex.
