Documentation: mod

[Happypig375]

Usage says it has 1 parameter.
Parameters says it has 1 parameter.
Example says it has 2 parameters.
In fact, mod() has 2 parameters.

Nice catch. Thanks! I'll fix this.

And mod(2x+2y, x+y) should evaluate to 0 instead of not evaluating?

Separate issue. Not only that but I'm not ready to go down that rabbit hole at the moment.

Separate issue.

Opened as #211.

(Wow... 211 vs 137. Sometimes it is weird to look back at how many issues I have created over the past three weeks (almost the number of issues created in the past three years), purely because I thought nerdamer was a library which is active enough to depend my app on.)

There are other libraries out there. You could always look into one of them. Maybe they suit your needs better.

There are other libraries out there.

I have looked at all of them:

Background Information:

I started programming with Visual Basic.NET, because that language has the word "basic" in its name and works on my Windows machine (Old memories...)
When I wanted to create a mobile app, I wanted to reuse my existing knowledge of the .NET platform.
With Xamarin, I am able to create mobile apps with .NET APIs that I know of with C#.
When I looked into Xamarin, I saw Xamarin Forms. Cross-platform UI for iOS, Android, Windows Phone and Windows 10 with shared C# code? Woohoo!

And now...

I want to create an app with symbolic algebra calculation which can supplement my calculator.
I first looked at .NET symbolic math libraries, but there were only two of them:

• Math.NET Symbolics
  Denied: It is written in pure F# which is known to not work on Windows Phone/Windows 10
• Symbolism
  Denied: No parser, no usefulness

Then I found the Wolfram .NET/Link API
Denied: Absolute overkill, too costly

Sigh... I could not find a symbolic math library for my app... Wait! iOS, Android and Windows Phone/Windows 10 all support evaluating JavaScript natively!!! Yay!

When I first searched for a JavaScript symbolic math library, I stumbled upon Algebrite which has a list of JavaScript CAS libraries at the bottom of its home page.
I cannot use the Node Package Manager, because, well, I do not use Node! Node is too big to evaluate in Android phones (it is designed to be run on a server). I use git submodules.
Here is a list of them:

• Algebrite
• Coffeequate
  Denied: They are written in CoffeeScript.
  Yes, I know CoffeeScript can be compiled into JavaScript, but either I have to do it myself, which I do not want to do (it complicates the build process of my app), or wait for the library to compile it.
  Algebrite's build commit and its latest change in code have a two month gap between them!
  Coffeequate does not even have its library compiled into JavaScript on GitHub!
• javascript-cas
  Denied: Dead library. Latest change is from May 3 2014, which is over 3 years ago.
• Algebra.js
• Polynomial.js
  Denied: Too small. They do not even have the very important trigonometry functions.
• Mathsteps
  Denied: Mathsteps requires Node version > 6.0.0. Did I say I do not use Node?
• Kas
• Math.js
  Denied: Their code contain explicit references to the window object. I can use a JavaScript interpreter in case of bugs in the native platform implementations, but it is an interpreter, not a web view or a browser. It does not define a window object.

Soo... When all the others have fundamental issues, the only option left is Nerdamer.
And so I ended up with Nerdamer. 😉
