Question

Can someone please explain how modulus works %

Answer 1

It's the reminder after the division. You can read more here:https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Operators/Arithmetic_Operators.

Answer 2

Let's talk in integers, if you divide 12 by 24 then smallest number you can multiply 24 with to get a number smaller than 12 is only 0 (not talking about decimals here) so, 12-24*0=12

Answer 3

thank you when i was figuring it out i was adding a decimal so my remainder didnt match the correct answer i got it now

Answer 4

it is an operator which gives you remainder
10%2 gives 0 as 2*5 = 10 and 10 - 10 =0
10%3 gives 1 as 3*3 = 9 and 10 -9 = 1
Why are you even asking this?

Answer 5

thats what i thought it was but i came across this question

what is the output of this code?
x= 12;
y= 24;
z= x % 24;
alert(z)

Answer 6

the answer is 12 but im not understanding why

Answer 7

The output is 12 because 24 is greater than 12
