Syntax

Classic signature

function modulo<
	GenericInput extends number
>(
	input: GenericInput,
	divisor: number
): number

Curried signature

function modulo<
	GenericInput extends number
>(
	divisor: number
): (input: GenericInput) => number

Parameters

• input: The dividend (the number to divide, classic signature only).
• divisor: The divisor (the number to divide by).

Return value

returns the remainder of the Euclidean division of input by divisor. The result has the same sign as the dividend (input % divisor).
