Article-I.D.: alice.922 Posted: Fri Sep 17 06:56:13 1982 Received: Tue Sep 21 08:33:12 1982 References: ihuxv.325 The aark definition of integer division is incorrect. The rule to remember is that the remainder has the same sign as the dividend. In aark' terminology, "n" and "r" have the same sign. This is certainly not a C compiler definition, though there are places where the compiler must know about it.
