### Modulus (x Mod y)

Basic and Crystal syntax.

##### Usage

`x Mod y`

Divides x by y and returns a remainder that is a whole number. The Number values x and y can be positive or negative, and they can be fractional. If x or y is fractional, it will be first rounded before the modulus is taken.

##### Examples

The following examples are applicable to both Basic and Crystal syntax:

`83 Mod 10`

Returns 3.

`10 Mod 3`

Returns 1.

`-10 Mod 3`

Returns -1.

`10 Mod -3`

Returns 1.

`10 Mod 3.5`

Returns 2 since 3.5 is first rounded to 4 before the modulus is taken.
