<brief_description>
A 4D vector using integer coordinates.
</brief_description>
<description>
A 4-element structure that can be used to represent 4D grid coordinates or any other quadruplet of integers.
It uses integer coordinates and is therefore preferable to [Vector4] when exact precision is required. Note that the values are limited to 32 bits, and unlike [Vector4] this cannot be configured with an engine build option. Use [int] or [PackedInt64Array] if 64-bit values are needed.
[b]Note:[/b] In a boolean context, a Vector4i will evaluate to [code]false[/code] if it's equal to [code]Vector4i(0, 0, 0, 0)[/code]. Otherwise, a Vector3i will always evaluate to [code]true[/code].

<description>
Gets the remainder of each component of the [Vector4i] with the components of the given [Vector4i]. This operation uses truncated division, which is often not desired as it does not work well with negative numbers. Consider using [method @GlobalScope.posmod] instead if you want to handle negative numbers.

print(Vector4i(10, -20, 30, -40) % Vector4i(7, 8, 9, 10)) # Prints "(3, -4, 3, 0)"

Compares two [Vector4i] vectors by first checking if the X value of the left vector is less than the X value of the [param right] vector. If the X values are exactly equal, then it repeats this check with the Y values of the two vectors, Z values of the two vectors, and then with the W values. This operator is useful for sorting vectors.
