Synopsis
--------

.. parsed-literal::
    
    template<
          typename T1
        , typename T2
        >
    struct modulus
    {
        typedef |unspecified| type;
    };



Description
-----------

Returns the modulus of its arguments.

Expression semantics
--------------------

For any |Integral Constant|\ s ``c1`` and ``c2``:


.. parsed-literal::

    typedef modulus<c1,c2>::type r;

:Return type:
    |Integral Constant|.

:Precondition:
    ``c2::value != 0`` 

:Semantics:
    Equivalent to 
        
    .. parsed-literal::
    
        typedef integral_c<
              typeof(c1::value % c2::value)
            , ( c1::value % c2::value )
            > r;


.. ..........................................................................

.. parsed-literal::

    typedef modulus<c1,c2> r;

:Return type:
    |Integral Constant|.

:Precondition:
    ``c2::value != 0`` 
 
:Semantics:
    Equivalent to 
    
    .. parsed-literal::
    
        struct r : modulus<c1,c2>::type {};


Complexity
----------

Amortized constant time.


Example
-------

.. parsed-literal::
    
    typedef modulus< int_<10>, long_<3> >::type r;
    BOOST_MPL_ASSERT_RELATION( r::value, ==, 1 );
    BOOST_MPL_ASSERT(( is_same< r::value_type, long > ));
