PSeInt MOD operator: the remainder of a division

Gives the remainder (what's left over) of a whole-number division. Very handy to check whether a number is even (n MOD 2 = 0) or a multiple of another.

Output

Shows: 2 (5 goes into 17 three times with 2 left over)

This is what the console shows when the example runs.

Good to know

Instead of MOD you can write %. The symbol works in every profile; the word MOD works in profiles that allow word operators, like the default one.

Some details depend on your school's profile. See the language profiles.

In a flowchart

This is how it appears in a flowchart, with the same shapes Codoritmo draws.

n MOD 2 = 0SíNo
Used inside a condition. It has no shape of its own; it's used inside a condition. Flowchart: a decision diamond with the condition "n MOD 2 = 0"; the Sí (yes) exit continues down and the No exit turns right.
