In Python, the percent sign (%
) is known as the modulo operator.
A modulo calculation returns the remainder of the division between two numbers.
Example 1
x = 12 % 5print(x) # Output: 2
Because 12 is not evenly divisible by 5, the value of x
is 2.
Example 2
y = 10 % 5print(y) # Output: 0
Because 10 is evenly divisible by 5, the value of y
is 0.
