A text for Python 2.7 includes these two paragraphs. The first I understand. The 2nd below mystifies me. How do I use "x % 10" and "x % 100" in the context of the examples I've created following the paragraphs?
"The modulus operator turns out to be surprisingly useful. For example, you can check whether one number is divisible by another if x % y is zero, then x is divisible by y. Also, you can extract the right-most digit or digits from a number. For example, x % 10 yields the right-most digit of x (in base 10). Similarly x % 100 yields the last two digits." I understand these: x = 49/13 print x 3 y = 49%13 print y 10 z = 0.0 + x + y/13.0 print z 3.76923076923 print 49.0/13 3.76923076923 Thanks, Ken _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - [email protected] To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
