Gets the modulus of an arbitrary precision number

# BcMath\Number::mod

(PHP 8 >= 8.4.0)

BcMath\Number::mod — Gets the modulus of an arbitrary precision number

### Description

public BcMath\Number::mod(BcMath\Number|string|int `$num`, ?int `$scale` = `null`): BcMath\Number

Gets the remainder of dividing $this by `num`. Unless `num` is `0`, the result has the same sign as $this.

### Parameters

`num`
  The divisor.
`scale`
  BcMath\Number::scale explicitly specified for calculation results. If `null`, the BcMath\Number::scale of the calculation result will be set automatically.

### Return Values

Returns the modulus as a new BcMath\Number object.

When the BcMath\Number::scale of the result object is automatically set, the greater BcMath\Number::scale of the two numbers used for modulus operation is used.

That is, if the BcMath\Number::scales of two values are `2` and `5` respectively, the BcMath\Number::scale of the result will be `5`.

### Errors/Exceptions

This method throws a ValueError in the following cases:

- `num` is string and not a well-formed BCMath numeric string
- `scale` is outside the valid range

This method throws a DivisionByZeroError exception if `num` is `0`.

### Examples

Example #1 BcMath\Number::mod() example when `scale` is not specified

`<?php
$number = new BcMath\Number('8.3');
$ret1 = $number->mod(new BcMath\Number('2.22'));
$ret2 = $number->mod('8.3');
$ret3 = $number->mod(-5);
var_dump($number, $ret1, $ret2, $ret3);
?>`

The above example will output:

    object(BcMath\Number)#1 (2) {
      ["value"]=>
      string(3) "8.3"
      ["scale"]=>
      int(1)
    }
    object(BcMath\Number)#3 (2) {
      ["value"]=>
      string(4) "1.64"
      ["scale"]=>
      int(2)
    }
    object(BcMath\Number)#2 (2) {
      ["value"]=>
      string(3) "0.0"
      ["scale"]=>
      int(1)
    }
    object(BcMath\Number)#4 (2) {
      ["value"]=>
      string(3) "3.3"
      ["scale"]=>
      int(1)
    }

Example #2 BcMath\Number::mod() example of explicitly specifying `scale`

`<?php
$number = new BcMath\Number('8.3');
$ret1 = $number->mod(new BcMath\Number('2.22'), 1);
$ret2 = $number->mod('8.3', 3);
$ret3 = $number->mod(-5, 0);
var_dump($number, $ret1, $ret2, $ret3);
?>`

The above example will output:

    object(BcMath\Number)#1 (2) {
      ["value"]=>
      string(3) "8.3"
      ["scale"]=>
      int(1)
    }
    object(BcMath\Number)#3 (2) {
      ["value"]=>
      string(3) "1.6"
      ["scale"]=>
      int(1)
    }
    object(BcMath\Number)#2 (2) {
      ["value"]=>
      string(5) "0.000"
      ["scale"]=>
      int(3)
    }
    object(BcMath\Number)#4 (2) {
      ["value"]=>
      string(1) "3"
      ["scale"]=>
      int(0)
    }
