modulus operator sign code example
Example 1: what is modulus in python
# Modulus is the reminder of the 2 divisions, ex 25 % 2 = 1
#ie, 2*12 = 24 and the number is 25 so when we divide 25/2 the reminder is 1
print(25%2)
# Output = 1
#Hope you understood that, have a nice day :D
Example 2: what is modulus operator
// given a list of widgets, files, people, etc.
longList = 10000;
feedbackInterval = 100; // to be used as the modulus
// loop over the list to process each item
for( i=1; i <= longList; i++ ) {
// perform some operation
// mod operation gives feedback once every hundred loops
if( i % feedbackInterval == 0 ) {
percentCompleted = ( i / longList ) * 100;
writeOutput( "#percentCompleted# percent complete. " );
}
