Example
The following numeric example uses the modulo (
trace(12%5); // traces 2
trace(4.3%2.1); // traces 0.0999999999999996
trace(4%4); // traces 0
The first trace returns 2, rather than 12/5 or 2.4, because the modulo (
the remainder. The second trace returns 0.0999999999999996 instead of the expected 0.1
because of the limitations of floating-point accuracy in binary computing.
