public class Program { public static void main(String[] args) { int x=8, y=2; System.out.println(y%x);

Question

can anyone explain how the output of this code is 2?

Answer 1

% gives the remainder of a division.

8%5 is 3, because 5 fits one time into 8, and then 3 will be left.

2%8: 8 fits zero times into 2, and 2 will be left over.

Answer 2

Read about the modulo operator.
