''The modulo operator produces correct results in all cases'', but it must be understood that the result will have the sign of the dividend in Papyrus (as in Java and many other languages), therefore <code>3 % 2 == 1</code> and <code>-3 % 2 == -1</code>. | ''The modulo operator produces correct results in all cases'', but it must be understood that the result will have the sign of the dividend in Papyrus (as in Java and many other languages), therefore <code>3 % 2 == 1</code> and <code>-3 % 2 == -1</code>. | ||
