Abstraction of integral numeric types. That is, types with no fractional part, including Integer.

The division operation for integral numeric types results in a remainder. Therefore, integral numeric types have an operation, denoted by the remainder operator %, to determine the remainder of any division operation.

if (n%2==0) {
    print("Even!");
}

Division and the remainder operation should satisfy:

  • x == (x/y)*y + x%y

for any instance x and any instance y other than 0.

All Integral numeric types are also Enumerable, so ranges of integral values may be produced using the measure() and span() operators.

// Iterate from 0 to 100 inclusive
for (i in 0..100) {
    print("The square of ``i`` is ``i^2``");
}

// Iterate all indices of the array, 
// from 0 to array.size-1
for (i in 0:array.size) {
    print(array[i]);
}

Methods
dividesSource Codeshared default Boolean divides(Other other)

Determine if this number is a factor of the given number, that is, if remainder(other).zero evaluates to true.

moduloSource Codeshared default Other modulo(Other modulus)

The modulo, after dividing this number by the given number. This differs from remainder() in that the result is always positive or 0.

Throws
remainderSource Codeshared formal Other remainder(Other other)

The remainder, after dividing this number by the given number. The sign of the remainder depends upon the sign of this number, and of the argument divisor:

  • if this dividend is positive, the remainder has the opposite sign as the divisor, or is 0,
  • if this dividend is negative, the remainder has the same sign as the divisor, or is 0, or
  • if this dividend is zero, the remainder is always 0.

Thus, in order to satisfy the identity x == (x/y)*y + x%y, division for an integral numeric type must round toward 0, the additive identity.
