Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, weighing all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

Wales is full of elephants - you just can't see them because they're so well camouflaged against the sky.

Not at all; it's only when integer division is being simulated with floating-point division that things go wrong. But it's floating-point division's fault.

JavaScript backs up C# and says -1 too.
The windows calculator (set on Programmer) also says -1.

Wait...
Python says 19. That's what Google is going by!! Python.
Python is obviously wrong.

EDIT
Just tried it in C also and it says -1 so it is obvious that Google and Python are completely wrong.
Why would anyone think different?

EDIT 2
Just tried it in Java (actually in an Android app) and it gives -1.

There should be an entire discussion on why Python chose the Euclidean definition (if that is in fact the reason) while every other language seems to have chosen -1. Interesting.

EDIT 3
I can't stop now. I just tried it in Kotlin and it also results in -1.

EDIT 4
Went all the way back to QuickBasic*, ok? And -1 MOD 20 is -1 like it should be!!!
PRINT "HEllo"
PRINT -1 MOD 20

* repl.it - online REPL, QBASIC Compiler & IDE[^]

EDIT 5
Yep, I found another one that gives 19. It's Ruby!!!! Well, that sinks it, Google, Python and Ruby are all wrong for sure. Mad | :mad:

We all know Python and Ruby are garbage languages and I'm sure this will be their end. Roll eyes | :rolleyes:

repl.it - online REPL, RUBY Compiler & IDE[^]

EDIT 6
Tried it on the bash shell:

$ echo '-1%20' | bc
-1

Also tried it on windows command prompt

set /a -1%20
-1

Well, I certainly hope you can see that when I beat a dead horse...I beat it soundly to death! Laugh | :laugh:
