modulo

I'm embarrassed to ask such a simple question. My term does not start for two more weeks so I can't ask a professor, and the suspense would kill me. Why does 2 mod 4 = 2? Jarsen Mod just means you take the remainder after performing the division. Since 4 goes into 2 zero times, you end up with a remainder of 2. Modulo is the remainder, not division. 2 / 4 = 0R2 2 % 4 = 2 The sign % is often used for the modulo operator, in lieu of the word mod . For x % 4 , you get the following table (for 1-10) x x%4 ------ 1 1 2 2 3 3 4 0 5 1 6 2 7 3 8 0 9 1 10 2 Modulo (mod, %) is the Remainder operator. 2

I'm trying to sort the digits of an integer of any length in ascending order without using Strings, arrays or recursion. Example: Input: 451467 Output: 144567 I have already figured out how to get each digit of the integer with modulus division: int number = 4214; while (number > 0) { IO.println(number % 10); number = number / 10; } but I don't know how to order the digits without an array. Don't worry about the IO class; it's a custom class our professor gave us. Timofey There's actually a very simple algorithm, that uses only integers : int number = 4214173; int sorted = 0; int digits = 10;

So I thought that negative numbers, when mod'ed should be put into positive space... I cant get this to happen in objective-c I expect this: -1 % 3 = 2 0 % 3 = 0 1 % 3 = 1 2 % 3 = 2 But get this -1 % 3 = -1 0 % 3 = 0 1 % 3 = 1 2 % 3 = 2 Why is this and is there a workaround? result = n % 3; if( result < 0 ) result += 3; Don't perform extra mod operations as suggested in the other answers. They are very expensive and unnecessary. In C and Objective-C, the division and modulus operators perform truncation towards zero. a / b is floor(a / b) if a / b > 0 , otherwise it is ceiling(a / b) if a / b

How do I figure out if a variable is divisible by 2? Furthermore I need do a function if it is and do a different function if it is not. Use modulus: // Will evaluate to true if the variable is divisible by 2 variable % 2 === 0 Seriously, there's no jQuery plugin for odd/even checks? Well, not anymore - releasing "Oven" a jQuery plugin under the MIT license to test if a given number is Odd/Even. Source code is also available at http://jsfiddle.net/7HQNG/ Test-suites are available at http://jsfiddle.net/zeuRV/ (function() { /* * isEven(n) * @args number n * @return boolean returns whether the

I m trying to find out a simple modulus operation on float data type. float a=3.14f; float b=10f; result=a%b; I m getting result= 3.14 Another example using decimal data types: decimal p=10; decimal q=40; result=p%q; getting answer=20. I am not understanding how does modulus works? From the C# language spec on floating point remainder. In the case of x % y if x and y are positive finite values. z is the result of x % y and is computed as x – n * y , where n is the largest possible integer that is less than or equal to x / y . The C# language spec also clearly outlines the table of what to do
