Print (1.25%0.5)

Question

Why I get 0.25 when 0.5 can divide 1.25 0.25 time it is not remainder it is quotient

Answer 1

The % gives you whats left after dividing. In your case 1.25 can be divided by 0.5 two times and then there is 0.25 left which can‘t be dicided by 0.5. Thats the value you get back.

Answer 2

This happen due to floating point rounding issues.
