Hi,

6282196 There should be Math.mod(number, modulo) methods <http://bugs.sun.com/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=6282196>

Requests that floor and modulus methods be provided for primitive types. Floor division is pretty straight-forward, rounding toward minus infinity. For modulus of int and long, the sign and range follow the exiting floor method in java.util.Math and satisfy the relation that mod(x, y) = (x - floorDiv(x, y) * y).

Please review and comment, http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~rriggs/6282196.1/

Thanks, Roger
