2 mmin - least-absolute-value residues modulo a specified number
8 x number (real or complex), matrix, list, object
14 If x is real and md is nonzero, mmin(x, md) returns the real
15 number v congruent to x modulo md for which abs(v) <= md/2
16 and if abs(v) = md/2, then v = md/2.
18 If x is real and md is zero, mmin(x, md) returns x.
20 For complex, matrix, list or object x, see the help file for mod: for
21 all x and md, mmin(x, md) returns the same as mod(x, md, 16).
24 ; print mmin(3,6), mmin(4,6), mmin(5,6), mmin(6,6), mmin(7,6)
27 ; print mmin(1.25, 2.5), mmin(-1.25,2.5), mmin(1.25, -2.5)
