# %% operator

Added in BYOND 515.

### Format
> `A %25%25 B`

### Returns
> The remainder of A / B.

`A %25%25 B` is read "A modulo B", which stands for the remainder of A divided by B.

This is a newer version of the `%` operator that supports all numbers, not just integers. It is equivalent to `B * fract(A / B)`. The `%` operator does the same thing, but truncates A and B to integers first.

A can be a vector instead of a number; B can also be a vector in this case.

If A is a pixloc, it's treated like a 2D vector and the modulo operation is done with that instead.
