Returns self modulo other as a float.
For float f and real number r, these expressions are equivalent:
Example
f % r f-r*(f/r).floor f.divmod(r)[1]
See Numeric#divmod.
Examples:
Example
10.0 % 2 # => 0.0 10.0 % 3 # => 1.0 10.0 % 4 # => 2.0 10.0 % -2 # => 0.0 10.0 % -3 # => -2.0 10.0 % -4 # => -2.0 10.0 % 4.0 # => 2.0 10.0 % Rational(4, 1) # => 2.0
Float#modulo is an alias for Float#%.
