C# Modulo

Modulo operator or remainder operator is used to get the remainder of two numbers. In C#, the modulo operator is represented by the % symbol. The modulo operator can be used with both integers and floating-point numbers.

Syntax

x % y

• x: dividend
• y: divisor

Examples

Example 1: Integer modulo

int a = 10;
int b = 3;

int c = a % b;

Console.WriteLine(c); // Output: 1

In the above example, we have two integers, a and b, and we are finding the modulo of a and b. The result is stored in variable c, which is then printed on the console.

Example 2: Floating-point modulo

double a = 10.6;
double b = 2.5;

double c = a % b;

Console.WriteLine(c); // Output: 0.6

In the above example, we have two floating-point numbers, a and b, and we are finding the modulo of a and b. The result is stored in variable c, which is then printed on the console.

Example 3: Modulo with negative numbers

int a = -10;
int b = 3;

int c = a % b;

Console.WriteLine(c); // Output: -1

In the above example, we have an integer a which is negative and a positive integer b. The modulo of a and b is calculated, and the result is stored in variable c. As the dividend a is negative, the result is also negative.

Conclusion

In conclusion, the modulo operator in C# can be used to find the remainder of two numbers. The operator can be used with both integers and floating-point numbers. It is represented by the % symbol.
