What does modulo in the following piece of code do? from math import * 3.14 % 2 * pi How do we calculate modulo on a floating point number?

Oct 7, 2010 · Exactly how does the % operator work in Python, particularly when negative numbers are involved? For example, why does -5 % 4 evaluate to 3, rather than, say, -1?

This is because in JavaScript % is the "remainder" operator while in Python it is the "modulus" (clock math) operator. You can get the explanation directly from GvR: Edit - dahiya_boy In …

Jan 5, 2022 · If the first statement is correct (True), it'll perform that action below regardless of what you write. If you're trying to use a different modulus such as % 7, you might get funky …

Jul 8, 2013 · 0 Modulus operator gives you the result in 'reduced residue system'. For example for mod 5 there are 5 integers counted: 0,1,2,3,4. In fact 19=12=5=-2=-9 (mod 7). The main …

That's because Python's % performs a true modulus, which returns values on the range [0, divisor) and pairs well with floored division (towards negative infinity). C languages use the % …

May 9, 2019 · I am new to programming, and I chose to learn Python, and I came across this operator (%) called modulus, but I don't understand it, can some explain it to me in more detail!

Jun 13, 2009 · I don't think you're fully grasping modulo. a % b and a mod b are just two different ways to express modulo. In this case, python uses %. No, 15 mod 4 is not 1, 15 % 4 == 15 …

Nov 8, 2016 · Open up the Python console, and do 4 % 2, what is the result? Then do 3 % 2, what is the result? Now which of the results would be considered "true"? The modulo operator …

Feb 8, 2013 · This is pretty much fundamental to the definition of modulus, and it's wrong in Python, and just about every other programming language. But Python 3 comes to the rescue …
