Title: Float Modulo

Hi,
 
Following a post where float modulo was required, I created a custom action for it.

Just in case anyone is thinking of using this function, its worth noting this is not a modulo operation, but rather a remainder operation. % in C# is remainder which will present different results in negative divisor or dividend cases than a true modulo.

Stumbled on this as I was getting effectively invalid results for a typical mod operation.

Hi,

 ok, very confusing indeed:

So, where could I find some definite code on creating a modulo and a remainder.

Hi,

 found this: http://cc.davelozinski.com/c-sharp/use-the-modulus-operator-or-alternative

 so, what would be a typical case to check that modulo and remainder are properly working?

Bye,
