wrap

Return the remainder of integer division.

Synopsis

val = wrap(value, range)

Description

wrap returns the modulus of value, using range as the modulo; i.e., it will keep value within range by “wrapping” it around.

See also mod which apparently does the same thing.

Arguments

• value, range
  The parameters used to perform the “wrapping” (i.e., a % b; in this case, value % range) operation. Essentially wrap gives the remainder of dividing value into range. Modular (or “clock”) arithmetic is very useful in western, 12-note/octave music.

Examples

   wrappedval = wrap(7, 12)
