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

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

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

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.

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