Math.floorMod(int, int) and Math.floorMod(long, long) differ in their logic

      A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
      The current implementation of Math.floorMod(int, int) reads:

          public static int floorMod(int x, int y) {
              int mod = x % y;
              // if the signs are different and modulo not zero, adjust result
              if ((mod ^ y) < 0 && mod != 0) {
                  mod += y;
              }
              return mod;
          }

      while Math.floorMod(long, long) reads:

          public static int floorMod(long x, long y) {
              long mod = x % y;
              // if the signs are different and modulo not zero, adjust result
              if ((x ^ y) < 0 && mod != 0) {
                  mod += y;
              }
              return mod;
          }

      There's a difference in how the signs are checked.

      Prefer the floorMod(long, long) variant even for floorMod(int, int), that is, rewrite

          public static int floorMod(int x, int y) {
              int mod = x % y;
              // if the signs are different and modulo not zero, adjust result
              if ((x ^ y) < 0 && mod != 0) {
                  mod += y;
              }
              return mod;
          }
