Landon Curt Noll a31078bbec Remove all RCS @(#) lines and RCS strings
Some folks might think: “you still use RCS”?!?  And we will say,
hey, at least we switched from SCCS to RCS back in … I think it was
around 1994 ... at least we are keeping up! :-) :-) :-)

Logs say that SCCS version 18 became RCS version 19 on 1994 March 18.

RCS served us well.  But now it is time to move on.   And so we are
switching to git.

Calc releases produce a lot of file changes.  In the 125 releases
of calc since 1996, when I started managing calc releases, there
have been 15473 file mods!

NAME
mod - compute the remainder for an integer quotient
SYNOPSIS
mod(x, y, rnd)
x % y
TYPES
If x is a matrix or list, the returned value is a matrix or list v of
the same structure for which each element v[[i]] = mod(x[[i]], y, rnd).
If x is an xx-object or x is not an object and y is an xx-object,
this function calls the user-defined function xx_mod(x, y, rnd);
the types of arguments and returned value are as required by the
definition of xx_mod().
If neither x nor y is an object, or x is not a matrix or list:
x number (real or complex)
y real
rnd integer, defaults to config("mod")
return number
DESCRIPTION
The expression:
x % y
is equivalent to call:
mod(x, y)
The function:
mod(x, y, rnd)
is equivalent to:
config("mod", rnd), x % y
except that the global config("mod") value does not change.
If x is real or complex and y is zero, mod(x, y, rnd) returns x.
If x is complex, mod(x, y, rnd) returns
mod(re(x), y, rnd) + mod(im(x), y, rnd) * 1i.
In the following it is assumed x is real and y is nonzero.
If x/y is an integer mod(x, y, rnd) returns zero.
If x/y is not an integer, mod(x, y, rnd) returns one of the two
values of r for which for some integer q exists such that x = q * y + r
and abs(r) < abs(y). Which of the two values or r that is returned is
controlled by rnd.
If bit 4 of rnd is set (e.g. if 16 <= rnd < 32) abs(r) <= abs(y)/2;
this uniquely determines r if abs(r) < abs(y)/2. If bit 4 of rnd is
set and abs(r) = abs(y)/2, or if bit 4 of r is not set, the result for
r depends on rnd as in the following table:
rnd & 15 sign of r parity of q
0 sgn(y)
1 -sgn(y)
2 sgn(x)
3 -sgn(x)
4 +
5 -
6 sgn(x/y)
7 -sgn(x/y)
8 even
9 odd
10 even if x/y > 0, otherwise odd
11 odd if x/y > 0, otherwise even
12 even if y > 0, otherwise odd
13 odd if y > 0, otherwise even
14 even if x > 0, otherwise odd
15 odd if x > 0, otherwise even
NOTE: Blank entries in the table above indicate that the
description would be complicated and probably not of
much interest.
The C language method of modulus and integer division is:
config("quomod", 2)
config("quo", 2)
config("mod", 2)
This dependence on rnd is consistent with quo(x, y, rnd) and
appr(x, y, rnd) in that for any real x and y and any integer rnd,
x = y * quo(x, y, rnd) + mod(x, y, rnd).
mod(x, y, rnd) = x - appr(x, y, rnd)
If y and rnd are fixed and mod(x, y, rnd) is to be considered as
a canonical residue of x % y, bits 1 and 3 of rnd should be
zero: if 0 <= rnd < 32, it is only for rnd = 0, 1, 4, 5, 16, 17,
20, or 21, that the set of possible values for mod(x, y, rnd)
form an interval of length y, and for any x1, x2,
mod(x1, y, rnd) = mod(x2, y, rnd)
is equivalent to:
x1 is congruent to x2 modulo y.
This is particularly relevant when working with the ring of
integers modulo an integer y.
EXAMPLE
; print mod(11,5,0), mod(11,5,1), mod(-11,5,2), mod(-11,-5,3)
1 -4 -1 4
; print mod(12.5,5,16), mod(12.5,5,17), mod(12.5,5,24), mod(-7.5,-5,24)
2.5 -2.5 2.5 2.5
; A = list(11,13,17,23,29)
; print mod(A,10,0)
list (5 elements, 5 nonzero):
[[0]] = 1
[[1]] = 3
[[2]] = 7
[[3]] = 3
[[4]] = 9
