`%` (remainder) operator

The binary, left-associative infix % operator is used to get the remainder of an integer division.

Usage

Integer two = 5 % 3;

The % operator is defined as follows:

lhs.remainder(rhs);

See the language specification for more details.

The % operator is polymorphic. The meaning of % depends on the Integral interface.

The result type of the % operator is the same as the type of its right hand operand.

For the built-in numeric type Integer, % computes normal mathematical remainder.

Since the other built-in numeric types do not satisfy Integral, the remainder operator cannot be used on them.
