Modulo in java - syntax, how to use it with examples
12
points
Modulo operator in java:
%
Examples:
A lof of examples with println of each operation,
it will explain all doubts how it works.
System.out.println(0 % 3); // 0
System.out.println(1 % 3); // 1
System.out.println(2 % 3); // 2
System.out.println(3 % 3); // 0
System.out.println(4 % 3); // 1
System.out.println(5 % 3); // 2
System.out.println(6 % 3); // 0
System.out.println(7 % 3); // 1
System.out.println(8 % 3); // 2
System.out.println(9 % 3); // 0
modulo with negative numbers
System.out.println(-4 % 3); // -1
System.out.println(-3 % 3); // 0
System.out.println(-2 % 3); // -2
System.out.println(-1 % 3); // -1
compare - division vs modulo
// DIVISION:
System.out.println(19 / 20); // 0
System.out.println(20 / 20); // 1
System.out.println(21 / 20); // 1
System.out.println(40 / 20); // 2
System.out.println(41 / 20); // 2
// MODULO:
System.out.println(19 % 20); // 19
System.out.println(20 % 20); // 0
System.out.println(21 % 20); // 1
System.out.println(40 % 20); // 0
System.out.println(41 % 20); // 1
Check if number is even
int num = 2;
if ((num % 2) == 0) {
System.out.println("even number"); // even number
}
Check if number is odd
int num = 1;
if ((num % 1) == 0) {
System.out.println("odd number"); // odd number
}
