And then the next line says:
The definition y-x*<. y % x+0=x extends the residue to a zero left
argument, and to negative and fractional finite arguments. For
example:
That said, I believe I provided a case where it is inconsistent with
positive arguments. That said, it was in my follow-up message.
I will re-state it, here, for clarity:
one=: {. 1 0.j1
one
1
2 | 1
1
2 | one
_1
Note also that this result is inconsistent with the expression from
the dictionary which appeared in the sentence that I quoted above:
Y=: one
X=: 2
Y-X*<. Y % X+0=X
1
