The modulo operation returns the remainder or signed remainder of a division, after one number is divided by another, the latter being called the modulus of the operation. (source: wikipedia)
16 I really can't get my head around this "modulo" thing. Can someone show me a general step-by-step procedure on how I would be able to find out the 5 modulo 10, or 10 modulo 5. Also, what does this mean: 1/17 = 113 modulo 120 ? Because when I calculate (using a calculator) 113 modulo 120, the result is 113. But what is the 1/17 standing for then?
I'm messing with the modulo operation in python and I understand that it will spit back what the remainder is. But what if the first number is smaller than the second? for instance 2 % 5 the an...
The modulo operator always yields a result with the same sign as its second operand (or zero); the absolute value of the result is strictly smaller than the absolute value of the second operand [2].
Let's say that I need to format the output of an array to display a fixed number of elements per line. How do I go about doing that using modulo operation? Using C++, the code below works for displ...
They can call it "Euclidean modulo operation" but shouldn't call it Euclidean "division", since the operation itself is highly self-inconsistent in order to achieve the arbitrary criteria of always non-negative modulo. I mean there's a good reason why even the dedicated math engine WolframAlpha doesn't use Euclidean division for modulo ops.
The modulo operator in C will give the remainder that is left over when one number is divided by another. For example, 23 % 4 will result in 3 since 23 is not evenly divisible by 4, and a remainder of 3 is left over.
The % operator in C is not the modulo operator but the remainder operator. Modulo and remainder operators differ with respect to negative values. With a remainder operator, the sign of the result is the same as the sign of the dividend (numerator) while with a modulo operator the sign of the result is the same as the divisor (denominator). C defines the % operation for a % b as:
I had read that the remainder or result of modulo operator is supposed to be always positive, but this is not the case in R, and the definition and example provide here explain the logic that seems to be used.
