What is The Mod Operator in Python? (Tutorial from an EXPERT)
Watch this video to understand what the modulus operator (also known as the mod operator) is and how it works in python.
The modulus operator (a percentage sign in python) returns the remainder when some number (the dividend) is divided by another number (the divider). These expressions in python are often found in the form x % m where x is the dividend and m is the divider (the percent sign indicates to perform the mod operation).
You can use the mod operator on integers and floats. However, negative numbers don't work as you might expect as you will see in the video.
