Question

what is the output of the following code?
x = 5
y = 2
print(x % y)
2
1
2.5
0

Explanation:

Step1: Understand the modulus operation

The % operator in Python gives the remainder of the division of the left operand by the right operand.

Step2: Calculate \(5\%2\)

When \(5\) is divided by \(2\), \(2\times2 = 4\), and \(5-4=1\). So \(5\%2 = 1\).
