Question

Explain the difference between the modulo operator and the division operator for C#

Answer 1

ANSWER :--

• Modulo operator is used to find the remainder when a number X is divided by a number Y.
• Whereas, Division operation gives us quotient when a number X is divided by a number Y.
• Example  :--

Code to test :

using System;

class MainClass {

public static void Main (string[] args) {

Console.WriteLine ("---Modulo Operator (%)---");

Console.WriteLine("Integer remainder:-");

Console.WriteLine(7 % 3); // output: 1

Console.WriteLine(7 % -3); // output: 1

Console.WriteLine(-7 % 3); // output: -1

Console.WriteLine(-7 % -3); // output: -1

Console.WriteLine("Floating-point remainder:--");

Console.WriteLine(-5.2f % 2.0f); // output: -1.2

Console.WriteLine(5.9 % 3.1); // output: 2.8

Console.WriteLine("---Division Operator(/)---");

Console.WriteLine("Integer division:-");

Console.WriteLine(7 / 3); // output: 2

Console.WriteLine(7 / -3); // output: -2

Console.WriteLine(-7 / 3); // output: -2

Console.WriteLine(-7 / -3); // output: 2

Console.WriteLine("Floating-point division:--");

Console.WriteLine(-5.2f / 2.0f); // output: -2.6

Console.WriteLine(5.9 / 3.1); // output: 1.90322

}

}
