Floor division is division where the answer is rounded down. For example, 5/2 in floor division is not 2.5, but 2. In Python 2, floor division is the default. In Python 3, the floor division operator is //. Python 2: >>> 5/2 2 >>> 5.0/2 2.5 Python 3: >>> 5/2 2.5 >>> 5//2 2
Use the MOD operator to get the remainder of integer division.
Division provides Quotient whereas Modulus provides Remainder.
Python is a high level interactive, object-oriented programming language. If one requires a tutorial to create Python time programs there is a full tutorial available on the Tutorials Point website.
The percent sign in Java is the modulus operator. Modulus is used to find the remainder from a division For example if you did int x = 10 % 6; x would be equal to 4. 10 divided by 6 has a remainder of 4. The modulus operator can be used to determine whether a number is divisible by another among other things.
