[Newbies] Mod operator?

[John Almberg]

Hi Matthew,

I found the rem: method by finally thinking 'remainder' rather than  
'mod'. I tried your approach, which sounded interesting, and it  
worked, but then I had to spend a few minutes thinking *Why* does it  
work?

When it finally dawned on me, I tried a couple other mathematical  
examples. After yelling Wow! a couple of times, I tried it with  
'hello . hel' and was really impressed.

Thanks for the tip!
