What this ℅ means divide or not... becoz 1.25÷0.5 is 2.5 not 0.25

Answer 1

It returns remainder of division. Example: 10 % 4 is 2 because remainder in 10 / 4 is 2. 10 % 5 is 0 because remainder is 0.

Answer 2

% is modulo.
It is the remainder. That is what is left over after you have divided the numbers.
1,25 / 0,5 = 2
1,25 % 0,5 = 1,25 - 1 = 0,25

Answer 3

you're supposed to get 0 for this calculation if you use %

% returns remainder after an integer division

Answer 4

@Sreejith
That depends on the language.

Answer 5

I tested in C#.
It is allowed to calculate the remainder of floating point numbers.
