I've long wondered why [mod] and [%] both output integer values only.

A counter with [+ 1.8] --> [mod 360] doesn't work (always increments by 1).

You have to [+ 1.8] --> [expr fmod($f1)] (unless there's some other alternative I never found).

I mean, OK, but why would you have an environment where there's no int type but one operator arbitrarily forces int values, even when a float function exists in C for it?

I don't know why there's no native object for floats, but [% ] is different than [mod] in that it outputs negative numbers too. [mod] outputs only positive.

@ddw_music You are totally right.

This abstraction works like the % operator in Javascript and takes floats as well as negative numbers:

Nice one -- and a clever trick to disallow a zero denominator. I'll have to remember that.
