In Python, the modulo operator is represented by the percent sign (%). It is used to find the remainder of a division operation between two numbers. 
Here's an example of  modulo operator In Python

x = 7
y = 3
remainder = x % y
print(remainder)

This will print 1 as the remainder of 7 divided by 3 is 1.
modulo operator to check if a number is even or odd:


x = 7
if x % 2 == 0:
    print(x, "is even")
else:
    print(x, "is odd")
This will print "7 is odd" because the remainder of 7 divided by 2 is 1.

The modulo operator can also be used to wrap around a range of values. For example, you can use it to ensure that an index is always within the bounds of an array, even if the index is negative or greater than the size of the array:


index = -1
size = 5
correct_index = index % size
print(correct_index)

This will print 4 as the correct index, because -1 % 5 = -1, but we want the index to be between 0 and 4.

It's worth noting that, the modulo operation is defined as the remainder of the division of one number by another, i.e x % y = x - y * floor(x/y)
where floor is the floor division operator, that returns the quotient of the division and also discards any remainder.

  • Modulo operator:  The modulo is defined as "the remainder of the two arguments ".
  • It is denoted by the symbol   "%".
  • When we divide any number with 0 i.e;    x%0 the result is zero division error.
  • We can use int, float, and double values also.
  • Those int, float, double may be either positive or negative.
syntax:(x%y)
x is the first argument and y is the second argument.

#1.write a python program using the modulo operator.

  1. x=10.0
  2. y=2.0
  3. print(x%y)
output: 0.0


#2.write a python program for a value divides with 0 using the modulo operator.
  1. x=10.0
  2. y=0
  3. print(x%y)
output: zero division error
