Question

y=11
x=2*(y%3)
print(x*y)
Solution: 44

What am I missing? Thanks.

Answer 1

11%3 is 2 and x = 2*2 = 4

% is operator which gives reminder when we do x/y... as, 11 = 3*3 + 2. 11//3= 3 and 11%3 = 2

Answer 2

% gives reminder... for example, 55%5 = 0 because (11*5) + 0 = 55

56%5 = 1 bcz (11*5)+1= 56
37%8 = 5 bcz (8*4)+5= 37

Answer 3

tristach605 read this for modulus..it's in c++ but concept of modulus is same...

Answer 4

Thanks Kenta and Jay:).

So, when I solve for %, I have to always divide the remainder twice?

y=11
x=2*(y%3)
print(x*y)

y = 11
x = 2*(11%3) = 2 * (11/3 becomes 3.6/3 becomes 1.2 or "2")

y = 11
x = 2 * (2) = 4
print(11x4)
solution: 44
