Function of module (%)

Question

I don't understand how it works. I got that is the remainder but when the program runs I don't get the answer I think is it.

Answer 1

Think of it like this:
a = 5
b = 9
b % a is basically the same as taking the leftover from b / a. a goes into b 1 time, and has 4 left over, therefore your number would be 4.

if you need any extra help, please share your code.

Answer 2

Matthias
It seems to be what he was looking for. If you have a better example, please tell

Answer 3

Its basically used to find out remainder of 2 numbers.
For example: if we have
a=10
b=3
If the question is written as 10%3, means the number remaining after division will be your remainder. The answer here is 1

Answer 4

Paul Grasser if dividend is smaller than divisor then answer will be dividend. Eg
4%10 = 4
5%10 = 5
8%15 = 8

Answer 5

Module opreator returns the remainder of the operands.
For example-
4%2=0
5%2=1
9%5=4
and so on..

Answer 6

Share your code please and what output you expect. Otherwise we cannot help...

Answer 7

That's exactly the remainder, this part seems to be understood already. So you just explained what was known and got best answer? Lol, I don't get the posters question then.

It's like asking: "I understand A, but I don't understand A"

Answer 8

Jax It's nothing against you.
I'm just confused why Mariana expected an answer about what was exlcuded in the question 🤔😅

Answer 9

Yes, because e.g. for 4%10
4 = 0*10 + 4
-> remainder is 4

and e.g. for 10%4
10 = 2*4 + 2
-> remainder is 2

Answer 10

% return remainder value.
5%2 = 1

Answer 11

I'm confused about this:
4%10
What?!
How does that work??

Answer 12

the function of module is used to obtain a remainder value when one value is divided by the other
like say a=6,b=5
therefore a%b=1because when we divide 6 by 5 we obtain 1 as remainder. In java while using this operator the bigger value must be stated before the operator always

Answer 13

moaid razhy No, that's wrong.
The remainder is 4, because 10 fits one time in 14 and leaves 4 as a rest:
14 = 1*10 +4

Other example:
5/3 = 1.6666666...
But the remainder is not 0.666666...
It is 2, because
5 = 1*3 + 2

Answer 14

helps you to find reminder.
5/2=2
5%2=1

Answer 15

The remainder of division
if 9%4 =1 how it's work?
9 is 2*4 + 1 , that why 1.

more ex. 10%3=1 (10 is 3*3 + 1 )
8%6=2 ( 8 is 6*1 + 2)
6%10=6 (6 is 10*0 + 6)
