% (Modulo Operator)
Description: Returns the remainder of dividing the first number by the second. Integer operands give an int; a zero divisor is sent to the Arith handler installed around the code, which chooses the value. A nonzero literal divisor, as below, cannot fail. See Arithmetic Effects.
With a float operand, % returns a float remainder with the dividend's sign: -5.5 % 2.0 is -1.5. Either signed zero divisor requests Arith.divideByZero; integer zero divisors request Arith.remainderByZero. Infinite dividends and NaN operands can produce NaN. See the float result contract.
Example
let result = 17 % 5 // result = 2result = 17 % 5 // result = 2
