Description: The value of the modulo operation. The modulo congruence notation of
number theory, J == K (modulo N ), can be expressed in our
notation as ( J mod N ) = ( K mod N ) . Definition 1 in Knuth,The
Art of Computer Programming, Vol. I (1972), p. 38. Knuth uses "mod"
for the operation and "modulo" for the congruence. Unlike Knuth, we
restrict the second argument to positive reals to simplify certain
theorems. (This also gives us future flexibility to extend it to any
one of several different conventions for a zero or negative second
argument, should there be an advantage in doing so.) (Contributed by NM, 10-Nov-2008)(Revised by Mario Carneiro, 3-Nov-2013)
