How do you do modulo or remainder in Erlang?

Question

I\'m brand new to Erlang. How do you do modulo (get the remainder of a division)? It\'s % in most C-like languages, but that designates a comment in Erlang.

Answer 1

I used the following in elixir:

defp mod(x,y) when x > 0, do: rem(x, y);
defp mod(x,y) when x < 0, do: rem(x, y) + y;
defp mod(0,_y), do: 0

Please don't downvote this because it's another language than the question. We all live the dream, because we all have the beam.
