I would be in favor of such a scheme, if only I could figure out what mod
is supposed to do ... After reading the descriptions of mod and modulus,
I'm pretty confused, and trying a few examples doesn't help me any.
mod(p,q) seems to be something different from remainder(p,q) --
Can someone explain what mod does?
