[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #53496] mod: mod(nx,-x) producing -0

[Michael Leitner]

Follow-up Comment #3, bug #53496 (project octave):

Signed zero is required by IEEE 754, which Octave follows (and Matlab too, I
think). Whether it is sensible to return -0 here I have no idea, but I also
don't see when it is sensible to compute modulo negative integers. But before
you call this a Matlab incompatibility, try 1/mod(12,-3), because Matlab also
handles -0, but just doesn't display it.
