Do you remember when you did division in school and you had a remainder?

haha yes i do, but i guess i shouldve been more specific. i was just wondering what exactly of the remainder is suppose to return, like 10/3 = 3.33 so would 10%3 = .33?

Division is integer division not decimal.

So 10/3 = 3

10 % 3 = 1

Here's something you can try when you get Java installed on your computer: write a little program containing this line of codeSystem.out.println(10 % 3);and run it. See what comes out.
