Modulo operator (%) in Python gives the remainder when one number is divided by another. Python allows both integers and floats as operands, unlike some other languages. It follows the Euclidean division rule, meaning the remainder always has the same sign as the divisor. It is used in finding even/

BetaThe official Python docs suggest using math.fmod() over the Python modulo operator when working with float values because of the way math.fmod() calculates the result of the modulo operation. If you’re using a negative operand, then you may see different results between math.fmod(x, y) and x % y.You’ll explore using the modulo operator with negative operands in more detail in the next section.

BetaPython’s x % y returns a result with the sign of y instead, and may not be exactly computable for float arguments. For example, fmod(-1e-100, 1e100) is -1e-100, but the result of Python’s -1e-100 % 1e100 is 1e100-1e-100, which cannot be represented exactly as a float, and rounds to the surprising 1e100.

BetaThe % symbol in Python is called the Modulo Operator. It returns the remainder of dividing the left hand operand by right hand operand. It's used to get the remainder of a division problem. The modulo operator is considered an arithmetic operation, along with +, -, /, *, **, //. The basic syntax is: a % b

BetaThe percentage sign has a special meaning in Python when used in the context of strings. It allows you to insert values into a string template using a technique called string interpolation. The percentage symbol (%) in Python is primarily used as the modulo operator to calculate the remainder when one number is divided by another.

BetaPython uses the percent sign (%) as the modulo operator. The modulo operator always satisfies the following equation: N = D * ( N // D) + (N % D) Code language: JavaScript (javascript) In this equation: N is the numerator. D is the denominator. // is the floor division operator; And % is the modulo operator; If both N and D are positive ...

BetaIn Python, the modulo has many practical use cases. The most common use cases include checking if a number is odd/even, ... For example, in JavaScript, the result of modulo takes the sign of the dividend (the value on the left): console.log(7 % -4) // 3. Whereas in Python, the result has the sign of the divisor (the value on the right):

BetaPrecedence of Modulo Operator in Python. The modulo operator has the same precedence level as the multiplication and division operators. This means that Python evaluates the modulo operator from left to right with the other operators in the same precedence level. Let's understand this with an example. Consider the expression 4 * 10 % 12 - 9.
