mod8()

LIB8STATIC_ALWAYS_INLINE uint8_t mod8	(	uint8_t	a,
		uint8_t	m )

Calculate the remainder of one unsigned 8-bit value divided by anoter, aka A % M.

Implemented by repeated subtraction, which is very compact, and very fast if A is "probably" less than M. If A is a large multiple of M, the loop has to execute multiple times. However, even in that case, the loop is only two instructions long on AVR, i.e., quick.

Parameters

a	dividend byte
m	divisor byte

Returns

remainder of a / m (i.e. a % m)
