Mod versus Rem in Turing |
2013-01-01 |
|
Eric pose la question : I am a teacher teaching computer science using Turing. I am having
difficulty understanding why one would use the mod operator versus the rem
remainder operator.
Mod seems to make the resulting sign depend on the sign of the divisor,
whereas rem makes the resulting sign depend on the dividend.
Examples:
11 mod 5 = 1 and 11 rem 5 =1
-11 mod 5 = 4 and -11 rem 5 = -1
11 mod -5 = -4 and 11 rem -5 =1
-11 mod -5 = -1 and -11 rem -5 = -1
What I can't understand is why this would matter. For example, -11 / 5 =
-2.2 and 11 / -5 = -2.2 get the same result.
So how is a remainder dependent on the sign of one of the parts?
What benefit would using one over the other have?
Any insight would be most helpful!

Pouring angles for a crucible |
2008-12-20 |

Richard pose la question : I am trying to work at pouring angles and volume left in during pouring a crucible, The crucible is cylindrical and flat bottomed.
I know the diameter, radius and volume of the crucibles. and the volume of liquid going into it.
So lets say the crucible is only half full firstly I need to work out the angle just before its going to pour. ( I can work this out as long as there is a certain volume of liquid if its not enough I cant do it)
Now the problem I also need to work out how much I should tilt the crucible to allow a certain amount out and be able to do this untill the volume reaches 0 at 90' turn. This is where I am stuck.
The reason for needing to be able to work this out is so i can develop a constant flow for example 10Kg of metal per second.
Thank you very much for you time Harley Weston lui répond. |
