# operator % abstract method

num operator %(

1. num other

)

Euclidean modulo of this number by `other`.

Returns the remainder of the Euclidean division. The Euclidean division of two integers `a` and `b` yields two integers `q` and `r` such that `a == b * q + r` and `0 <= r < b.abs()`.

The Euclidean division is only defined for integers, but can be easily extended to work with doubles. In that case, `q` is still an integer, but `r` may have a non-integer value that still satisfies `0 <= r < |b|`.

The sign of the returned value `r` is always positive.

See remainder for the remainder of the truncating division.

The result is an int, as described by int.%, if both this number and `other` are integers, otherwise the result is a double.

Example:

    print(5 % 3); // 2
    print(-5 % 3); // 1
    print(5 % -3); // 2
    print(-5 % -3); // 1

## Implementation
