Learn Programming with C++ - Modulus Operator

This video is part of the Learn Programming with C++ video series. In this video, I discuss the modulus operator and how it's used to determine the remainder from an integer division as well as how it is usually used in code. #coding #programming #cplusplus #computerscience

As a beginner, i found it quite useful. thumbs up!

With that week as an example, you gave a nice explanation.

[rakibrafi]

The best explanation of mod(%) with it's use.

Thanks for understandable language u speak

If you can't understand why we use % to get a number less than the one we want it's because if you divide by 3 for example you have to get a number less than 3 because if a number equal to 3 or more existed than 3 would divide it, so it wouldn't be possible for example 12 / 3 = 4 because we can no longer divide by 3 and there is no remainder so it's 4 if there was a remainder that would be the % and the remainder can't be 3 because then the result will be more than 4 . It took me some time to get that, thank you God.

You forgot to mention that it's often used to check if a number is odd or even.
if (myInteger % 2 == 0)
std::cout << "myInteger is even.\n";
else
std::cout << "myInteger is odd.\n";

Thank you this makes so much more sense. Even Full Sail couldent explain it to me right lmao.

[ikazodba]

This is what i missed before 😀.. thanks a lot

[jimcarol]

what happens to the modulus when the numerator is bigger than the denomerator

[Perceptionz_Sound]

Im that guy that would type 10 on your program lol

Thanks for the explanation though.

Shouldn't the answer be Tuesday? As the count here starts from 0, Sunday.

[yasirzubair]

When 10%2 = 0, then why 2%10 = 2? why not 0? 2%10 gives the remainder "0" not "2" - Do anyone has a solid explanation?

Try giving 37/6 the result v get is 6 what's the reason!?
