The modulo operation returns the remainder or signed remainder of a division, after one number is divided by another, the latter being called the modulus of the operation. (source: wikipedia)
I'm messing with the modulo operation in python and I understand that it will spit back what the remainder is. But what if the first number is smaller than the second? for instance 2 % 5 the an...

Let's say that I need to format the output of an array to display a fixed number of elements per line. How do I go about doing that using modulo operation? Using C++, the code below works for displ...
The modulo operation returning only non-negative results, Rob referred to this as "mod", is called Euclidean modulo in this answer. The answer calls the behavior of Java's remainder operator % (truncating towards zero) truncated modulo.
The % operator in C is not the modulo operator but the remainder operator. Modulo and remainder operators differ with respect to negative values. With a remainder operator, the sign of the result is the same as the sign of the dividend (numerator) while with a modulo operator the sign of the result is the same as the divisor (denominator). C defines the % operation for a % b as:
