Know the limits

• % keeps the sign of the dividend, as the edge case shows; use the collection-index mod for wrapping.

The function above is the implementation used by the lab. The lab validates JSON types and caps size before execution; include equivalent validation when accepting untrusted input in your application.

Keep exploring

• Clamp a number to a range — Keep a number inside an inclusive minimum and maximum.
• Round to a number of digits — Apply decimal scaling and JavaScript rounding for display-oriented values.
• Add an ordinal suffix to a number — Append st, nd, rd or th to a positive integer.
