Help with %

I started learning c# recently and I'm having a hard time understanding what % actually does, and if it has multiple uses. https://code.sololearn.com/c2ibSDDlzqSa/?ref=app

% is getting remainder of division For example 9 = 4(2)+1 so 9%2 returns 1 18 = 3(5) + 3 so 18%5 returns 3 A special case of remainder is 0, n%i will be 0 when n is divisible by 0. So there will be two extensions of usage: The first one is in your example: The i%2==0 is commonly used to check if i is an even number because an even number is divisible by 2 and has no remainder, hence i%2==0 will return true Another usage is, when used together with for loop, for checking whether a number is prime.

9%2=1 Why 1 ? ------------- 9/2 = 4 and remind 1 <<it is % Or 4*2 = 8 next> 8+1=9
