2, because if you divide 17 by 3 the remainder will be 2 and this sign % counts the remainder

I don't know how the program works in detail (is that your question?) but there are few possibilities to see what % does. As example with your code 1.1) _ _ 17:3=5,6 0,6×3=2 1.2) _ 17:3=5,6 round down->5×3=15 -> 17-15=2 2) 17:3=5 -15 ----- 2 I hope it's helpful 😅

The answer is 2 This is because the % operator returns the remainder of the two numbers it is dividing. in your code you are asking what the remainder is when you divide 17 by 3 3 can go into 17 five times, which would make 15. Then the operator takes 17 and 15 and finds the difference between the two, 17-15 = 2

well, thats because this sign % returns the remainder, thats its function, and the print function is used to print out a value to the screen.. How else can she explain more? what details do you want to know?

The answer is 2 because % is mod operator which returns remainder. 3*5=15 and remainder is 2.

% is the modulus operator which returns remainder. so when 17 is divided by 3 remainder is 2.

sorry, the output is 2, because 3*5= 15, 17-15 = 2 if your num is 18, the output will be 0 because 3*6 = 18, 18-18 = 0

its simple % this sign is called modulus it is used to obtain the remainder 17%3 means you want to know the remainder when 17 is divided by 3 well the closest whole number where 3 is giving is 15 and 17-15=2 that's how it is giving 2

x = 3, num = 17 Here you are giving 17 as num, which is not exactly divisible by 2 Well finally you want to print the reminder So, 17/3 = 15 and 17-15 = 2 Hence 2 is the output/reminder
