Modulo Operation in PHP
There is a special operator %
,
with which you can find the remainder of
dividing one number by another:
<?php
echo 10 % 3; // outputs 1
?>
If one number is divisible by the second without a remainder - the result will be zero:
<?php
echo 10 % 2; // outputs 0
?>
The operator %
can, of course, be applied
not only to numbers but also to variables:
<?php
$a = 10;
$b = 3;
echo $a % $b; // outputs 1
?>
Given a variable $a
with a value of 10
and a variable $b
with a value of 3
.
Find the remainder of dividing $a
by $b
.
