But what does the percent sign mean as well as the // How does it work? I do not understand?

Before I edit this, I thought it linked the module, it did not, so that’s why my questions was blank

In javascript this works like this👇I don't know whether it's works same in Python thođŸ€” some people say javascript and python are related đŸ€· // is single line comment Whatever you write inside that, those codes will be ignored (right side) % is use for leftover number For example: If you write var x= 365; var y= 27; Document.write( x % y); The output will be 14 here is math: --> 365/27 = 13.51851... (take the number before the ".") -->13*27 = 351 (take this answer) -->365-351 = 14 In other way... (x - leftover = answer) 365 - 14 = 351 (take the answer to divide) (previous answer / y = answer) 351 / 27 = 13 ( take the answer to subtract) (y - answer = output) 27 - 13 = 14

The % is a modulo operator. It returns the remainder after division. Example is 4 % 3 = 1 or 7 % 5 = 2, it gets tricky with negative numbers and changes from language to language. The // is an integer division operator. It will never give you a float answer. Example is 7 // 3 = 2 or 5 // 4 = 1.

the floor division(//) sign is used to determine the quotient of a division while a modulo sign(%) is used to determine the remainder of a division e.g 4//2=2, while 4%2=0
