Hi! it's been about a week learning python! I've read 'python programming for the absolute begginer' I don't understand about % like...
107 % 4 = 3 7 % 3 = 1
it's the modulo operator (if you don't remember, the modulo is the remaining of the integer division, ie 5 % 2 = 1)
One of the most commun use is to test wether a number is odd or even:
any_even_number % 2 == 0 any_odd_number % 2 == 1
Note that the % operator is also used for string formating, ie: "%d modulo %d = %d" % (5, 2, 1) => "5 modulo 2 = 1"
Please help me...
