Command: remainder
  
Syntax: 
  x3 = remainder(x1, x2)
  
Description: 
  Compute the remainder after dividing x1 by x2. The result will 
  have the same sign as x1, and the magnitude of the result will
  be less than the magnitude of x2.
  
Comments: 
  The arguments to this function may be atoms or sequences. The
  rules for arithmetic operations on sequences apply.
  
Example 1: 
   a = remainder(9, 4)
       -- a is 1
       
Example 2: 
   s = remainder({81, -3.5, -9, 5.5}, {8, -1.7, 2, -4})
      -- s is {1, -0.1, -1, 1.5}

Example 3: 
   s = remainder({17, 12, 34}, 16)
       -- s is {1, 12, 2}

Example 4: 
   s = remainder(16, {2, 3, 5})
       -- s is {0, 1, 1}
