What does modulo in the following piece of code do? from math import * 3.14 % 2 * pi How do we calculate modulo on a floating point number?

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].

Jun 13, 2009 · Is there a modulo function in the Python math library? Isn't 15 % 4, 3? But 15 mod 4 is 1, right?

Oct 7, 2010 · Exactly how does the % operator work in Python, particularly when negative numbers are involved? For example, why does -5 % 4 evaluate to 3, rather than, say, -1?

That's because Python's % performs a true modulus, which returns values on the range [0, divisor) and pairs well with floored division (towards negative infinity). C languages use the % operator for …

Aug 19, 2020 · A documentação ainda menciona que " The modulo operator always yields a result with the same sign as its second operand (or zero) " (o operador % sempre retorna um valor cujo sinal é …

Nov 8, 2016 · Open up the Python console, and do 4 % 2, what is the result? Then do 3 % 2, what is the result? Now which of the results would be considered "true"? The modulo operator returns the …

Python has a "true" modulo operation, while C has a remainder operation. It has a direct relation with how the negative integer division is handled, i.e. rounded towards 0 or minus infinite. Python rounds …

Feb 8, 2013 · Can anyone explain how the modulo operator works in Python? I cannot understand why 3.5 % 0.1 = 0.1.

Jan 19, 2011 · What the % in python actually is is a modulus operator where x % y gives the remainder of x / y. In this case, what happened was that 75 / 4 is 18, with a remainder of 3, which is why 100 - 3 …
