===== MOD  =====

===== SYNTAX =====
     = x MOD y

==== PURPOSE ====


The ''MOD'' operator is used to perform the modulo operation. This operation 
returns the remainder of the integer division of two numbers.
The result of a ''MOD'' operation will not retain the sign of any, and so it may be 
only positive. The result is always in the range ''[0, divisor)'', exclusive. 

If the result of ''MOD'' is 0, it means that the first number is divisible 
by the second. Often used in conjunction with a pseudo-random number generator
to obtain random numbers within a certain range. It can be used to create loops 
that repeat a certain number of times or to handle situations that repeat 
periodically.

For example:

'''8 Mod  3 = 2'''
'''-8 Mod  3 = 2'''
'''8 Mod -3 = 2'''
'''-8 Mod -3 = 2'''

If divisor evaluates to zero, the behavior of the ''MOD'' operator is to return the
dividend as result, without sign.



==== EXAMPLE ====
    IF x MOD 2 THEN
      PRINT "odd"
    ELSE
      PRINT "even"
    ENDIF
