The modulo operation returns the remainder or signed remainder of a division, after one number is divided by another, the latter being called the modulus of the operation. (source: wikipedia)
16 I really can't get my head around this "modulo" thing. Can someone show me a general step-by-step procedure on how I would be able to find out the 5 modulo 10, or 10 modulo 5. Also, what does this mean: 1/17 = 113 modulo 120 ? Because when I calculate (using a calculator) 113 modulo 120, the result is 113. But what is the 1/17 standing for then?
I'm messing with the modulo operation in python and I understand that it will spit back what the remainder is. But what if the first number is smaller than the second? for instance 2 % 5 the an...
How does a modulo operation work when the first number is smaller ...
Let's say that I need to format the output of an array to display a fixed number of elements per line. How do I go about doing that using modulo operation? Using C++, the code below works for displ...
The modulo operation returning only non-negative results, Rob referred to this as "mod", is called Euclidean modulo in this answer. The answer calls the behavior of Java's remainder operator % (truncating towards zero) truncated modulo.
modulo - What's the syntax for mod in Java? - Stack Overflow
The modulo function (a mod b) translated directly into programming etc. I found the naming a bit confusing too, but their usage is distinct enough that they shouldn't get confused.
