Note Submitter: php AT internethoofdkantoor.nl ---- For the mathematicians among us: The mod operator % works a bit differently than in mathematics (e.g. in group theory), in that negative remainders aren't represented by their positive equivalence classes, as is common in mathematics. An example: -1%7 returns -1, instead of 6. it depends a bit on how you interpret 'remainder of a division', i.e. if you want the remainder to be always positive.
