rem1(x,m)

Remainder after division, returning in the range (0,m]

Examples

rem1(x, m)

Compute the remainder after dividing x by m, returning a value within the range (0, m].

julia> rem1(10, 3)
1

julia> rem1(-5, 7)
2

Examples of how to use the rem1 function:

1. Calculate the remainder after division:

   julia> rem1(20, 6)
   2

   This example calculates the remainder when dividing 20 by 6.

2. Handle negative numbers:

   julia> rem1(-12, 5)
   3

   The rem1 function handles negative numbers correctly and returns the remainder within the specified range.

3. Ensure the remainder is within the specified range:

   julia> rem1(25, 7)
   4

   Regardless of the value of x, the rem1 function always returns a remainder that lies within the range (0, m].

Common mistake example:

julia> rem1(10, -3)
ERROR: DomainError: The divisor provided to rem1 must be positive.

In this example, a negative divisor is provided to the rem1 function. The divisor must be positive for the function to work correctly. Make sure to provide a positive value for m to avoid such errors.
