Very simple. %

Question

x = 1 % 2
print(x)
#How come the output is 1?
I am aware if the rule. But the normal division of 1/2 = 0.5 and 00 as the output.
Thanks

Answer 1

1/2=1
If you're using ints, system won't use floats even in quotient part. So system doesn't know what the heck is decimal (.)
Therefore, nmbr smaller or equal to 1 which is divisible by 2 is 0, so
2*0=0, 1-0=1.
Hence, remainder is 1.

Answer 2

% is modulo or remainder operator. 1/2 = 0 with remainder=1.
so, 1%2==1
