This video is going to introduce you to a new operator called the modulus operator (%).
In the last video I gave you this example:
int y = 5 / 2;
I told you that the value of y is going to be 1. Did you figure out what this operator does? Well it actually takes the remainder. I’ve always been pretty bad at visualizing a remainder, so I use imagery. Imagine you have a pizza with 5 slices and you want to share the pizza with your pet rat, Pepper Jack.
Well you give a piece to Pepper Jack, a piece to you, a piece to pepper jack, and then another piece to you. Now, you have one left over:
int piecesOfPizza = 5;
int numberOfEaters = 2;
int leftOver = piecesOfPizza % numberOfEaters;
Now you might suggest just ripping the pizza in half, but you have to realize that piecesOfPizza is an integer. This means that we cannot split the piece in half.
This brings up the good point that the modulus operator is designed to work with integers. That’s because if you were using numbers of type double here, you and your pet rat would both get 2.5 pieces of pizza and the remainder would be zero. The modulus operator would be useless working with floating point numbers.
You can do a lot of cool things with the modulus operator. One example is figuring out if a number is even or odd. if you divide a number by 2 and the remainder is anything but 0, then you do not have an odd number.
That is all for the modulus operator. In the next video we are going to learn our first unary operator.

Thank you! I understand now what and how modulus operator is and works.
Sharing your pizza with your pet rat, imagine that 😀 great content, very clear videos.
Great educational video series, keep up the good work!
Am I the only one who got annoyed by the way he talks?
b) I'm a total geek and already know most of this stuff so I'm watching it at 1.5x speed
Good video
if i apply the modulus operator between 4 and 8 the remainder would be 0.5, but when I run the program the answer is 4, What is wrong with fractions?
me and my friend are both coders and would like for u to stop being so nerdy; we aren't all like this and it's disconcerting. that being said, good explanation… ur just corny as hell
Yo' IDE too dark can't see clearly
Can someone please explain what a modulator sign is? I'm so confused on how to work out a modulus operation
Straight to the point with great visual explanations and a fun attitude.
Fantastic tutorial Caleb, keep it up!

Calculate modulus without using %
Watch my video to click the above link…..thank you
wise words, about time, agreed.
what about the remainder of floating numbers
thanks
i gave myself this example: 13 % 3 is 1, because if all the 3 in 13 get eaten there will be 1 left
there is four "3" inside 13
1 is extra and it remains
or 1 doesn't count as 3 so it remains
i love your vids thank you
i guess this is what haha sounds like when someone texts it
you are really annoying
I want the modulus where the first number is smaller than the second number
