[[ALGOL 68R]] has the curious (and consequently non-standard) '/:=' operator. This operator
is equivalent to the OVERAB operator of the revised report, except it delivers
So a '/:=' b sets a to the quotient of a%b and returns the remainder of a%b as a result.
Note that it must be "stropped" i.e. enclosed in single quotes. eg.
INT quotient:=355, remainder;
remainder := quotient '/:=' 113;
Giving a quotient of 3, and a remainder of 16.
