<h5>Semantics:</h5>
<p>This instruction returns the <i>remainder</i> of a division (where the result
-has the same sign as the divisor), not the <i>modulus</i> (where the
-result has the same sign as the dividend) of a value. For more
-information about the difference, see <a
+has the same sign as the dividend, <tt>var1</tt>), not the <i>modulo</i>
+operator (where the result has the same sign as the divisor, <tt>var2</tt>) of
+a value. For more information about the difference, see <a

<h5>Example:</h5>
<pre> &lt;result&gt; = srem i32 4, %var <i>; yields {i32}:result = 4 % %var</i>
