Python Modulo: Using the % Operator
Python supports a wide range of arithmetic operators that you can use when working with numbers in your code. One of these operators is the modulo operator (%
), which returns the remainder of dividing two numbers. Modular operations are useful to check if a number is even or odd, simplifying cycling through data, and doing non-decimal based units conversion.
