Modulus Operator: %
The result of the modulus operator (%) is the remainder when the first operand is divided by the second.
Example
In the following example, the modulus operator is used to determine if the numeric value 4 evenly divides into nCenturyYear
. If the remainder is zero, the nCenturyYear
must be a leap year, so the LeapYearFunction()
is executed.
// Example of the modulus operator
int nCentury;
if ((nCenturyYear % 4) == 0) {
LeapYearFunction();
}
