The 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 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/odd numbers, cyclic patterns, and leap year calculations. The divmod(a, b) function can also be used to . Example of Modulo operator (%):

BetaNext, let’s jump into the actual use cases of calculating modulo in Python. Common Use Cases of Modulo in Python. There is a big number of use cases for modulo in Python. A common example is to check whether a number is odd or even. Another popular task is to check if a number is a prime number. Let’s see these and many other useful ...

BetaFor 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. For this reason, function fmod() is generally preferred when working with floats, while Python’s x % y is preferred when working with integers.

Beta6. Python Modulo math.fmod() The behavior of % operator with negative numbers is different from the platform C library. If you want the modulo operation to behave like C programming, you should use math module fmod() function. This is the recommended function for getting modulo with floating point numbers.

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.

BetaModulus in Python Example. To understand the concept better, let's look at a basic example of the modulus operator in Python: Loading... Run. In this example, when 10 is divided by 3, the quotient is 3 and the remainder is 1. So, the modulus operation 10 % 3 will yield 1.

BetaAnd % is the modulo operator; If both N and D are positive integers, the modulo operator returns the remainder of N / D. However, it is not the case for the negative numbers. Therefore, you should always stick with the above equation. Simple Python modulo operator examples # The following example illustrates how to use the modulo operator ...

BetaIn this example, the calculate_modulus function takes a list of numbers (numbers) and a divisor as parameters. It uses a list comprehension to iterate through each number in the list, calculates the modulus in python with the given divisor, and stores the results in a new list (modulus_results).

BetaUsing Modulo in Arithmetic. Another common use of the modulo operator in Python is to perform arithmetic operations. One possible way to check if a number is divisible by another number is by using the modulo operator. If the resulting remainder is 0, then the number is indeed divisible. Here is an example: num = 15 if num % 3 == 0: print(num ...
