Thread: Modulo

>how does modulo ( % ) work exactly?
Something like this (except far better optimized):

Code:

#include <stdio.h>

int main ( void )
{
  int lhs = 7;
  int rhs = 3;
  int result = 0;
  int rem = lhs;

  for ( result = 0; rem >= rhs; result++ )
    rem -= rhs;

  printf ( "%d %% %d == %d\n", lhs, rhs, rem );
  printf ( "%d %% %d == %d\n", lhs, rhs, lhs % rhs );

  return 0;
}

>And if any number % 2 == 0 then the number is even, right?
That would be a good assumption.
