Task:

Write a function that accepts two integers and returns the remainder of dividing the larger value by the smaller value.

Division by zero should return NaN.
Examples:

n = 17
m = 5
result = 2 (remainder of `17 / 5`)

n = 13
m = 72
result = 7 (remainder of `72 / 13`)

n = 0
m = -1
result = 0 (remainder of `0 / -1`)

n = 0
m = 1
result - division by zero (refer to the specifications on how to handle this in your language)

function remainder(n, m){
// Divide the larger argument by the smaller argument and return the remainder
// two params, both integers
//   division by 0 should return NaN
// n = 17
// m = 5
// result = 2 (remainder of `17 / 5`)
// n = 13
// m = 72
// result = 7 (remainder of `72 / 13`)
//   use % operator, use division if it fails, save value in a var, return var
  // use the bigger number first
  if (n > m) return n % m
  else return m % n
