I am a beginner. I have a problem about % this can anyone explain me that how the output of print(4%2) is 0

Answer 1

% is totally different operator in programming from math .

% is called modulus operator . it returns the remainder after division of 1st param by 2nd param .

Here after dividing 4 by 2 we get remainder 0 .

Another example 5%2
After dividing 5 by 2 we get quotient 2 in int and remainder 1 .

So 5%2 = 1

Answer 2

% operator gives the remainder as output..

Here, 4%2 = 0 Coz, 4 is divisible by 2 and the remainder is 0

Lets take another example,
5%2 which results in 1. Coz, when you divide 5 by 2 the remainder is 1. It'll be easy if you know which part is called remainder when we do division in Mathematics. Just try to analyze it..

2) 5 (2
4
_______
1 //remainder part

Answer 3

Try deviding 4 with 2, it fits exactly 2 times into four, if however you devide 5 with 2, it only fits 2 times, since 2 × 2 = 4, and if you added another 2 it would surpass 5 and become 6, so, 5 % 2 will give you the distance from 4 and 5, if you did 5 - 4 you would get 1. When you do 4 % 2, 2 fits exactly 2 times into 4, so there is no distance, if you did 4 - 4 you would get 0.
