Why is 1%2 ==0 , false?

Question

Why is 1%2 ==0 ,false, isn't it remainder 0 ?

Answer 1

Devision:
0.5
____
2 | 1.0
-1.0
.0

1/2 = 0.5 && 1 % 2 = 1

Answer 2

% is called Modulus Operator and it gives remainder in this case it's 1.

/ is called Division Operator and it gives quotient as output in this case 0.5.

I think you misunderstood the division operator as % and used it.

Answer 3

No, 1 divided by 2 is 0 remainder 1.

Answer 4

Because 1 != 0

Answer 5

Vibhor, he understood what the modulus operator did, he was saying he thought the remainder should be zero.

Answer 6

I wasn't here earlier to explain it, but I see, you already got the right answer....
% is a modulus, it gives you a remainder. if is it not divisible at least once, this means:
{ smaller % bigger }, then the smaller number is completely the remainder

Answer 7

Mihaly Nyilas Correct explanation

Answer 8

Can you explain that?

Answer 9

TacoBlayno who knows! 🤖

Answer 10

He literally asked: "isn't it remainder 0?"

Answer 11

Here integer division is performed where only the integer is considered as quotient and decimal part is discarded that's why 2 goes 0 = 0 and 1-0 = 1.So remainder is 1

Answer 12

Because this operator "%" is use for find reminder

Answer 13

Are you perhaps confusing modulo with floor/integer division? That statement would be true in that case. Or maybe just ordering issue? 2%1 =0

Answer 14

I thought you misunderstood the division operator to be %and used it for another

Answer 15

0.02 ?
