Right. A convenient property to have that is held by the Python version is (for nonzero n) x==n*floor(x/n)+x%n This property isn't held by the Javascript variant, where there is a somewhat more complex property x==n*sign(x/n)*floor(abs(x/n))+x%n

In python, math.floor(x / n) can be written x // n, so: x == n * (x // n) + x % n

  math.floor(x / n) can be written x // n It's worth noting that x//n returns an int and math.floor returns a float, so the statements aren't equivalent.

    If you pass a float in as x or n, x // n will be a float.
