What is the difference bettween numpy.mod() and numpy.remainder()?

Question

Consider the following code

import numpy as np 
a = np.array([10,20,30]) 
b = np.array([3,5,7]) 

print(np.mod(a,b))

Output:

[1 0 2]

import numpy as np 
a = np.array([10,20,30]) 
b = np.array([3,5,7]) 

print(np.remainder(a,b))

Output:

[1 0 2]

Both functions gave the same value, are there any differences?

Answer 1

No difference, they are aliases:

>>> np.mod is np.remainder
True

Specifically, mod is alias for remainder:

>>> np.mod.__name__
'remainder'
