Correction in nAutAxH AhmAd answer He stated correctly but it's not 10 % 2 = 5 It is 10 % 2 = 0 ( As 10 is divided by 2) And 2 % 3 = 3 (incorrect) 2 % 3 = 2 ( As 2 is not divided by 3 so remainder is 2)

If two numbers are divided equally then remainder would be Zero. If two numbers are divided unequally then the remainder would be non-zero value. 5 % 2 = 1 6 % 3 = 0 10 % 3 = 1 10 % 2 = 5 If the number on the left side of modulo operator is less than the number on the right of modulo operator, then the result will be the number on left side. 2 % 3 = 3 -5 % 10 = -5

simply put , the modulo operater gives you the remainder , its division but only considering the remainder of the division executed
