3%8 = 3 . But why and how? [SOLVED]

Question

In all programming languages the answer of the equation 3%8 is 3. But how is it possible? According to me, the answer should have been 0 (Integer).

Can someone please explain how this equation is done by the ALU of the processor?

Answer 1

[B.S.] BITTU This % is modulus operator
this operator outputs the remainder instead of a quotient

so when you divide

0
____
8 | 3
-0
--------
3

Just stop till here

Consider the remainder -> 3

Because an Integer won't display the decimal values

The decimal values will be displayed if you use float datatype but your question is of integer

Answer 3

This 👉🏻 % is a modulus operator and is used to display the REMAINDER of the division

If we divide 8 from 3 we are getting remainder 3

here while dividing don't consider the quotient

consider the remainder

Answer 4

In this case, there is no need to share anything.

If the dividend is less than the divisor, then the result will be equal to the dividend.

If 3 < 8 then 3%8 = 3;

P. S: "It is very easy to check this statement: a%b == a-a//b*b".

Suparna Das Oh Thanks got it now 👍

Answer 6

Jeshwanth Jesh Statements are some built-in functions or better say , commands in all programming languages that take arguments and perform some specific tasks on the argument without returning a value.
Statements of any programming language can't be customized.

Example:
C : printf();
Python: print()
C++ cout
Java: System.out.println()

Functions can either be user defined or built-in that can perform more complex instruction sets and functions, unlike statements, can be customized which might return a valid value. Function has a similarity to a statement that is , functions too can take arguments.

Example:

C/++ void myFunction()
Python: def myFunction()
Java: static void myFunction()

Sidenote:
Functions is java are actually called "Methods"

Answer 11

the operation modulo(%) finds the rest or the rest signed after the division of a number by another (called the module of the operation).

Given two positive numbers, a and n, a modulo n (a%n, abbreviated as a mod n) is the rest of the Euclidian division of a by n, where a is dividend and n is divider.
This operation can satisfy also the following formula a*(a//b)+(a%b) for example 3*(3//8)+(3%8) like that
