Question on mod

• "Does the choice of mod or remainder affect more than the sign?`

• Consider 7 and 4.

  (mod 7 4) 3 (mod -7 4) 1 (mod 7 -4) -1 (mod -7 -4) -3 (remainder 7 4) 3 (remainder -7 4) -3 (remainder 7 -4) 3 (remainder -7 -4) -3

• Let's divide -7 by 4.

  • -7 is 4*-1 with a remainder of -3
  • We can also think about -7 as being 4*-2 with a remainder of 1
• If we use both mod and remainder for cycles, why would we use one over the other?
  • With a positive divisor/modulus, mod only cycles through non-negative numbers, and the cycles go in the same direction
  • With a positive divisor/modulus, remainder cycles one way for positive dividends and the other for negative dividends, and the signs of the values in the two cycles are opposite.
  • For these reasons, we tend to use mod to cycle.

Questions on HW2

• Why is vertical shifting upside-down?
  • Silly graphics pioneers decided that numbers increase downward
  • Possibly because of printing.

Quiz

10 minutes. If you finish early, start setting up for the lab (but wait for your partner to do the real work). Read the reading again if you have nothing else to do.

Lab
