Yes I know in fact I'm not the OP but from what I understood from 
his post, he want to replicate, but I may be wrong.


If it's the case, this code may help him:

//DMD64 D Compiler 2.072.2
import std.stdio;
import std.math;

int mod(int i,int j){
if(abs(j)==abs(i)||!j||!i||abs(j)==1){return 0;};
auto m = (i%j);
return (!m||sgn(i)==sgn(j))?(m):(m+j);
}

void main(){
int j,i;
for(j=1;j<9;++j){
for(i=1;i<9;++i){
  writeln(-i, " % ", +j, " = ", (-i).mod(+j));
  writeln(+i, " % ", -j, " = ", (+i).mod(-j));
}
}
}


At least the code above gave me the same results as the Python 
version.

It's just not a nice single expression.



I don't think you can do this, imagine this case:

auto tmp = -1 % -3; // Note divisor in negative too.

tmp will be "-1" which already matches the Python way, so you can't add 
divisor anymore.


If the divisor is unknown, I hadn't considered the case. I was only 
considering the case where the divisor is a constant.


In that case, one can probably determine if the divisor is less than 0 
before starting.

Hm... (n%3+3)%3 should work.

You only need the

(n % 3) + 3


You need both:

(-3 % 3) + 3 == 3
((-3 % 3) + 3) % 3 == 0
