hello... i'm new here and it has been months since i have started programming.....and its fun....

can anyone help me......1%3==1?

that's what my professor has told me and i could not gets() the logic of this?

[Codeplug]

How many times does 3 go into 1?
Zero.
Whats left over?
One.

% = modulus

it will take the remainder of two ints.
example

12%7 = 5

(7 goes into 12 once , and there is a remainder 5 )

20%4 = 0

(4 goes into 20 five times, and there is no remainder )

1%3 = 1

(3 goes into 1 zero times, and there is 1 remainder )

hope that helps

The % operator is the modulus, the / operatoris is the divisor and it is applicable to integer variables. It has to do with the remainder of a division.

In integer calculus you get the following:

7 / 3 = 2

Now

2 * 3 = 6

So there is a remainder

7 - 6 = 1

This can directly be calculated using the modulus operator

7 % 3 = 1

In your example

1 / 3 = 0
0 * 3 = 0
1 - 0 = 1
