When LHS is less than RHS then LHS is returned. In C++ modulo operator only works with integral operands, and since 3 % 5 doesn't even make 1 quotient, 3 was returned.

If you try to divide 3 by 5 , you will get 3 as remainder and quotient will be 0.

Nitin Bisht % don't divide fully but rather stop at a less value or at a integer and then returns the extra value . I should have included in my previous answer that i was talking in context of "%" not "/"
