@ -828,10 +828,11 @@ sqrt (w)
Supports unsigned integer (result is ubyte) and floating point numbers.
To do the reverse - squaring a number - just write ``x*x``.
divmod (number, divident, division, remainder)
Performs division and remainder calculation in a single call. This is faster than using separate '/' and '%' calculations.
divmod (dividend, divisor, quotient, remainder)
Performs division only once and returns both quotient and remainder in a single call, where using '/' and '%' separately
would perform the division operation twice.
All values are ubytes or all are uwords.
The last two arguments must be ubyte variables to receive the division and remainder results, respectively.
