c ++ MODULUS OPERATOR

[oblongmelon]

what do I do now!

[Burzhui]

the modulus operator gives you the remainder, such as 15%6=3

6 goes into 15 2 times and 3 is left over

[oblongmelon]

bless you.

Are you wondering about the workings of a modulus operator in general, or something specific to c++? In general, a modulus operator works like this:

Divides the value of one expression by the value of another, and returns the remainder.

result = number1 % number2

where % is the modulus operator.

For example,

20 % 8 would return a value of 4

I got distracted while I was typing my response.

But I think mine was better.

Ever try to code:
15%6=varname

That's one reason why I think my answer was better.

you mean varname = 15 % 6;

I gave it in words and an example... boo ya grandma

Look at your first response, and tell me what order you put it in!

[Burzhui]

that was theory man

in mathematics 15%6=3

in programming

int result;
result = 0;
result = 15 % 6;

return result;

Clarity is what it's all about, man. That's why I gave a CLEAR explanation.

[Burzhui]

hey read the reply after mine... my explanation was understood...

wanna duel???

[Markel]

I won.

That's lame. Just admit it - I'm better.

uhhh Cha

i answered first and it was good and understandable... but your input is obviously valuable as well, so shake on it, and move on.

[Markel]

Ok. You can go back to your "weekend interests".

Haha. this useless exchange was pretty funny to read.

Well, I was going to let this thread drop off the bottom, but as long as you "woke it up", I'll add one more thing. There was a reason that I "pressed" this issue. It is true that Burzhui's answer was adequate to meet the need. However, as an answer to a programming language question, it was weak as compared to what followed. I have been writing software for 30 years now, and believe me, I have learned the value of code that is carefully planned out AND DOCUMENTED as compared to something that is just slammed together and happens to work. The first takes a little longer up front, but in the end it usually saves time, and in the long run (for maintainability) it is infinitely better.

So, if you are in pursuit of a career dealing with software development, take a lesson from someone who's been there.
