Why is the output in 5th line =0 instead of (-10)?

int main() { int a[]={1,2,3,4,5}; for(int i =0;i<=4;i++){ a[4]=a[4]-a[i]; cout <<a[4]<<endl; } cout <<"\n\n\n"<<a[4]%a[1]; return 0; }// Outputs 4 2 -1 -5 0 0

@Soman He is talking about the last iteration of the loop, not the modulo stuff after the loop. It's 0 instead of -10 because -5 - (-5) is 0 since the negative signs cancel each other out.

% returns you reminder from division. Use / operator.
