<div class="desc"><p>Returns <code>a</code> modulo <code>m</code>, but always in the range <code>0</code>..<code>m-1</code> — unlike the <code>%</code> operator, which keeps the sign of <code>a</code> (so <code>-1 % 5</code> is <code>-1</code>, while <code>Math.posmod(-1, 5)</code> is <code>4</code>). It is what you want for wrapping indices and grid coordinates that can go negative.</p></div>
