Why modulus (%) operator gives different result in compiler and calculator ?

Question

I am beginner and I face a problem with modulus operator. Please tell me reason !!

=>> In Compiler <==

1%2 = 1
2%1 = 0
____________________________
=>> In Calculator <<=

1%2 = 0.02
2%1 = 0.02

Answer 1

@Waqas
Kuba is right! Here in programming, mod(%) gives the remainder after the division :)

Answer 2

% means percentage on a calculator

Answer 3

In calculator the % sign means percent, not modulus. Most calculators do not have the modulus implemented and those that do most often use "mod" as shortening.

Answer 4

Nice question...I totally would not have realized this was confusing unless someone had asked.
