C# y%x = ?

Question

In C# there is this thing % and I don't understand what it does??
Maybr someone knows how it works?
For excample 5*4

Answer 1

Since 2*2=4,
So we divide 4 by 2 quotient we get is 2, reminder is 0
That is 4/2=2, 4%2=0
And 5 divided by 2,then quetiont is 2, reminder is 1,
Since 2*2=4, (5-4=1) so reminder is 1
Similarly
12/3=4 since 3*4=12, reminder 0,so 12%3=0
20/3=6 since 3*6=18, reminder 20-18=2,so 20%3=2...
Hope this clears you.. Is it?

Answer 2

It gives reminder
Ex: 5%2=1

Answer 3

But why is so?

Answer 4

I don't understand what do you mean and about your doubt?
Can you give some more clarity...
It's a basic arithmatic operation...
To find about reminder we need %,
To find quetiont we use /.

Answer 5

But idk how to calculate the reminder
Also don't know what the reminder is

Answer 6

OK thanks

Answer 7

You're Wel come..

Answer 8

It's called a modulus and give the remainder of division.

8%3=2
3 goes into 8 twice to a total of 6.
Leaving 2 remaining.

Eg. You have 8 candies, you have 3 friends and you want to give the candies away evenly but need to know how many you have remaining.

So you give each friend 2 candies from a total of 6 which leave 2 left. Now you can do something with the remaining 2.
