     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.
