How can we implement the modulo operator as a function in C without using the operator?
693
We use the % to denote this type of operator (it's the percentile operator). The modulus operator is added in the arithmetic operators in C, and it works between two available operands. It divides the given numerator by the denominator to find a result.
Modulus operator works based on the value received by the end-user. It always finds the remainder of 2 numbers with respect to the numerator. The below example will illustrate the exact functionality. Example: 7 % 3 gives us remainder as 1 because when we divide 7 by 3 then we get 2 as quotient and 1 as remainder.
rem = num1 % num2; We calculate the remainder using the Modulus(%) operator. printf("Remainder = %d", rem); printf("Remainder = %d", rem);
Do an integer division followed by a multiplication, and subtract.
#include <stdio.h>
int main()
{
int c=8, m=3, result=c-(c/m*m);
printf("%d\n", result);
}
