Okay. I'm going nuts: some math with very big numbers isn't consistent across languages.
What am I missing here?
In #Javascript:
(36342608503257322 % 4294967296) == 3993778408
In #OpenSCAD:
(36342608503257322 % 4294967296) == 3993778408
In #Python:
(36342608503257322 % 4294967296) == 3993778410
in #Ruby :
(36342608503257322 % 4294967296) == 3993778410
Can anyone explain why the result is off by 2?
