Arithmetic Operators - Modulus
The modulus operator, represented by the %
symbol, returns the remainder of a division operation between two numbers.
For example, if you divide 10 by 3, the result is 3 with a remainder of 1. The modulus operator would return the remainder, which in this case is 1.
Here's an example:
So, the modulus operator can be useful in various scenarios, such as checking if a number is even or odd, or if it is divisible by another number.
In the next challenge you'll receive a variable called num
that will be assigned a random number. Your job is to assign to the isEven
variable a boolean value that indicates whether the number is even or not using the modulus operator.
Tip: Even numbers are divisible by 2, so if the remainder of the division of a number by 2 is 0, then the number is even.
