Welcome to the Sololearn community and congrats on deciding to be a programmer! :) Let's dive in, shall we? Your puzzle is 7 % (5 // 2) = 1 and this is how it gets calculated: #Parentheses first ##5//2 is "floor division" and asks how many times two can go in five, without caring for the remainder (=2 times). ### 7 % 2 is "modulus" and asks what is left as the remainder after floor division of 2 in 7 = 6. (=1 left). Hope this helped you and don't hesitate to be curious and ask in the future. Cheers!

1 : 7 % (5/2) 2 : 7 % (2) 3 : 1 It equal 1 becus 7%2 it's a leftover number from 7/2 Sorry for grammar And dont forget that % in js c++ java phyton is modulus not percent :) (Edit : I forget this is python question)

simple.. here // means the quotient so the quotient when 2 divides 5 is 2. lastly % means the remainder. so the remainder here when 2 divides 7 is 1. hope this helps... thanks

one more important thing 5/2 will produce 2.5 , but 5//2 will proudce 2 ..when you put two "/" operators it will just give main part of number and throw decimal

Note that 5//2 is 2 but -5//2 is -3

In python // is not for comment, and can be used instead for this 'floor' div operator.

5//2 means how many 2 divides 5 discarding decimal

5//2=2 7%2=2*4+1 if you consider division algorithm 1 is the remainder since% in programming refers to remanider

operations in parentheses precedes all others, so the equation changes to 7%2 and thus the answer is 1

// is give quotient so 5//2 = 2. % this is used for find remainder. 7 % 2 = 1 gives remainder 1

according to bodmas bracket is solved first . quotient of 7/2 is 2. so 7%2 is 1.

as we can see for 5//2 both on left and right side there are integer thus it gives the quotient which is here 2 iā€¢e integer ; while (7%2) since as usual both are integer gives the remainder in integer which is here 1 . Hope U Get it Now
