This might be a simple one but i can't figure it out.
What is a modular type, as opposed to the integer?
When is it useful?
Since ada relies so heavily on types I guess it's not by accident that the standard library includes modular_io.
But why?
Could someone please enlighten me on this subject.
An example of usage would be nice.
I've checked the RM but to be perfectly honest I didn't understand it.
Thanks in advance
