moduloimaan

Moduloimaan is a Finnish verb meaning "to modulo" or "to take the remainder of a division." It refers to the mathematical operation of finding the remainder after dividing one number by another. In programming and mathematics, this operation is often denoted by the percent sign (%) or the `mod` operator. For example, in the expression 7 mod 3, the moduloimaan of 7 by 3 is 1, because 7 divided by 3 is 2 with a remainder of 1. The verb moduloimaan is commonly used in contexts related to computer science, algorithms, and number theory, where the concept of remainders is fundamental. It can be used to check for even or odd numbers (a number is even if its modulo 2 is 0), to wrap around values within a certain range, or as a component in various hashing and encryption techniques. The term is a direct borrowing or adaptation of the English word "modulo."
