Title: The Semantics and Practical Application of the Modulo Operator in Kotlin: Distinguishing rem and mod
// Verification of remainder property: // a = (a/b)*b + r // -5 = (-5/3)*3 + (-2) -> -5 = (-1)*3 + (-2) = -5 ✓ kotlin mod
(-5).rem(3) = -2 2.2 The Modulo Function ( .mod() ) Kotlin defines the Euclidean modulo $r$ such that: $$ a \equiv r \pmodb $$ and: $$ 0 \leq r < |b| $$ Sign rule: $r$ is always non-negative. Title: The Semantics and Practical Application of the
(-5).mod(3) = 1 3. Implementation and Behavior Analysis The following Kotlin code demonstrates the functional difference: kotlin mod
