Question

how >>>7%(5//2)=1?
Can anyone explain it to me?

Answer 1

Solve what's in the parenthesis first because of order of precedence:

5 // 2 == 2

The // operator is for floor division. It truncates the result after division (throws away all the decimal places).

Then 7 % 2 == 1.

The % operator gets the remainder after division. It is called modulus or simply mod operator.

P.S.: Use double equal sign "==" when dealing with equations. A single equal sign is the assignment operator, whereas double is for comparison.

Answer 2

5//2 == 2 (2.5 without remainder)
7%2 == 1 (Remainder after 7//2)
