Operators::mod()

"mod" is an abbreviation for "modulo". Modulo returns what is left over when the first input is divided by the second.

The answer takes the sign of the second input, as the Scratch block does, so mod(-7, 3) is 2 rather than the -1 Java's own % would give. That is what makes it useful for wrapping a value into a range: a sprite whose x has gone negative still lands somewhere sensible.
