For example, fmod(-1e-100, 1e100) is -1e-100, but the result of Python’s -1e-100 % 1e100 is 1e100-1e-100, which cannot be represented exactly as a float, and rounds to the surprising …

Jul 8, 2013 · Modulus operator gives you the result in 'reduced residue system'. For example for mod 5 there are 5 integers counted: 0,1,2,3,4. In fact 19=12=5=-2=-9 (mod 7). The main …

Jun 13, 2009 · In this case, python uses %. No, 15 mod 4 is not 1, 15 % 4 == 15 mod 4 == 3. Share. Improve this answer ...

Oct 7, 2010 · BTW, python actually implements this for floating point as well. >>> -.25 % 1 0.75 The FP extension coincides with how it's e.g. used in Csound to do phasors (mod 1). And a …

Feb 8, 2013 · 3.5 % 0.1 gets me 0.099999999999999811, so Python is thinking that 0.1 divides into 3.5 at most 34 times, with 0.099999999999999811 left over. I'm not sure exactly what …

Jun 14, 2024 · On Python 3 the calculation yields 6.75; this is because the / does a true division, not integer division like (by default) on Python 2. On Python 2 1 / 4 gives 0, as the result is …

Python has a "true" modulo operation, while C has a remainder operation. It has a direct relation with how the negative integer division is handled, i.e. rounded towards 0 or minus infinite. …

Jan 22, 2025 · Compare this to the output of the Python script below which gives the result I expected. #!/usr/bin/python a = -1282397916 b = 2147483647 c = a % b print (c) 865085731 …

Nov 8, 2016 · Open up the Python console, and do 4 % 2, what is the result? Then do 3 % 2, what is the result? Now which of the results would be considered "true"? The modulo operator …

Jan 5, 2022 · We know that if an integer mod 2 is 0, then it is even... or if an integer mod 2 is 1, then it is odd. So you should change the condition of the bottom piece of code to if number % …
