Well, from here the one after next is the 2nd, and the one before last
is the -2nd.
Regardless, the code and documentation should match, and it seems
Hi,
Is -42nd handled? IIRC we demand C99 so we know rounding is towards
zero. But C's remainder operator, ‘%’, returns the sign of the
dividend, unlike modulo. And then there's two's complement so INT_MIN
can't be made positive.

I often switch to another user to see if they've any new email they'd
