modular arithmetic          (Or "clock arithmetic") A kind of integer       arithmetic that reduces all numbers to one of a fixed set       [0..N-1] (this would be "modulo N arithmetic") by effectively       repeatedly adding or subtracting N (the "modulus") until the       result is within this range.          The original mathematical usage considers only _equivalence_       modulo N.   The numbers being compared can take any values,       what matters is whether they differ by a multiple of N.       Computing usage however, considers modulo to be an operator       that returns the remainder after integer division of its first       argument by its second.          Ordinary "clock arithmetic" is like modular arithmetic except       that the range is [1..12] whereas modulo 12 would be [0..11].          (2003-03-28)
