C++, How 3 (Help) I tried but I don't know how 3%5 output comes 3

Question

Int a=3;
Int b=a++;
Cout<<b%++a

Answer 1

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.

Answer 2

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

Answer 3

Ipang well explained answer

Answer 4

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 "/"

Answer 5

Abhay if I am trying to divide 3 by 5 , I will get 0 as remainder and quotient will be 0.6
