function value = i4_modp ( i, j )

%*****************************************************************************80
%
%% I4_MODP returns the nonnegative remainder of I4 division.
%
%  Discussion:
%
%    If
%      NREM = I4_MODP ( I, J )
%      NMULT = ( I - NREM ) / J
%    then
%      I = J * NMULT + NREM
%    where NREM is always nonnegative.
%
%    The MOD function computes a result with the same sign as the
%    quantity being divided.  Thus, suppose you had an angle A,
%    and you wanted to ensure that it was between 0 and 360.
%    Then mod(A,360) would do, if A was positive, but if A
%    was negative, your result would be between -360 and 0.
%
%    On the other hand, I4_MODP(A,360) is between 0 and 360, always.
%
%  Example:
%
%        I     J     MOD  I4_MODP    Factorization
%
%      107    50       7       7    107 =  2 *  50 + 7
%      107   -50       7       7    107 = -2 * -50 + 7
%     -107    50      -7      43   -107 = -3 *  50 + 43
%     -107   -50      -7      43   -107 =  3 * -50 + 43
