Examples for % (modulo) in the reference Jan 29th, 2010, 2:24pm   These are the examples for % (modulo) on Processing reference, are they ok? int a = 20%100;         // Sets a to 20 int b = 20%100;         // Sets b to 20 float c = 75.0%100.0;   // Sets c to 75.0 float d = 275.0%100.0;  // Sets d to 75.0 I believe it should set the variable to the remainder of the two terms, not to the first term.
