Is there a division operation that produces both quotient and reminder?

Question

Currently I write some ugly code like

    def div(dividend: Int, divisor: Int) = {
        val q = dividend / divisor
        val mod = dividend % divisor
          


        

Answer 1

In BigInt, note /% operation which delivers a pair with the division and the reminder (see API). Note for instance

scala> BigInt(3) /% BigInt(2)
(scala.math.BigInt, scala.math.BigInt) = (1,1)

scala> BigInt(3) /% 2
(scala.math.BigInt, scala.math.BigInt) = (1,1)

where the second example involves an implicit conversion from Int to BigInt.
