PythonObject % PythonObject -- the modulo operator for Python objects

Operator: %
Usage:

x % y
Inputs:
- x, a python object,
- y, a python object,
Outputs:
- a python object, the remainder when x is divided by y;

Description

Perform the modulo operator on Python objects.

i1 : toPython 5 % toPython 3

o1 = 2

o1 : PythonObject of class int

If one of the arguments is a Macaulay2 object, then it is first converted to a Python object before dividing.

i2 : toPython 9 % 5

o2 = 4

o2 : PythonObject of class int

i3 : 11 % toPython 7

o3 = 4

o3 : PythonObject of class int

Note that the behavior of the modulo operator for integers differs between Macaulay2 and Python. In particular, in Macaulay2, the remainder is always nonnegative. In Python, the remainder will have the same sign as y.

i4 : 5 % -3

o4 = 2

i5 : toPython 5 % -3

o5 = -1

o5 : PythonObject of class int
