REM REM Remainder After Division

Usage

Computes the remainder after division of an array.  The syntax for its use is

   y = rem(x,n)

where x is matrix, and n is the base of the modulus.  The
effect of the rem operator is to add or subtract multiples of n
to the vector x so that each element x_i is between 0 and n
(strictly).  Note that n does not have to be an integer.  Also,
n can either be a scalar (same base for all elements of x), or a
vector (different base for each element of x).

Note that the following are defined behaviors:
  1.  rem(x,0) = nan@

  2.  rem(x,x) = 0@ for nonzero x

  3.  rem(x,n)@ has the same sign as x for all other cases.

Note that rem and mod return the same value if x and n
are of the same sign.  But differ by n if x and y have 
different signs.
