.. method:: remainder_near(other[, context])
|
||||
|
||||
Compute the modulo as either a positive or negative value depending on
|
||||
which is closest to zero. For instance, ``Decimal(10).remainder_near(6)``
|
||||
returns ``Decimal('-2')`` which is closer to zero than ``Decimal('4')``.
|
||||
Return the remainder from dividing *self* by *other*. This differs from
|
||||
``self % other`` in that the sign of the remainder is chosen so as to
|
||||
minimize its absolute value. More precisely, the return value is
|
||||
``self - n * other`` where ``n`` is the integer nearest to the exact
|
||||
value of ``self / other``, and if two integers are equally near then the
|
||||
even one is chosen.
|
||||
|
||||
If both are equally close, the one chosen will have the same sign as
|
||||
*self*.
|
||||
If the result is zero then its sign will be the sign of *self*.

>>> Decimal(18).remainder_near(Decimal(10))

Decimal('-2')
|
||||
>>> Decimal(25).remainder_near(Decimal(10))
|
||||
Decimal('5')
|
||||
>>> Decimal(35).remainder_near(Decimal(10))
|

Decimal('-5')
