### mod

#### number1 mod number2

Reports number1 modulo number2: that is, the residue of number1 (mod number2). mod is is equivalent to the following NetLogo code:

    number1 - (floor (number1 / number2)) * number2

Note that mod is "infix", that is, it comes between its two inputs.

    show 62 mod 5
    => 2
    show -8 mod 3
    => 1

See also remainder. mod and remainder behave the same for positive numbers, but differently for negative numbers.
