What is the module operator (x%y)?

Question

I speak Spanish so when I saw this symbol % I thought it was per centage but then I saw an example and It wasn't the percentage...

Answer 1

The modulo symbol (%), or the modulus, is an operator which yes, returns the remainder of an equation. For example:

100 % 10 = 0

50 % 7 = 1

7 % 4 = 3

One very popular and beginner way to use the modulus, is telling whether or not an integer is even or not.

x % 2 = 0
Means even

x % 2 = 1
Means odd

Answer 2

It returns the remainder

Answer 3
