rane · Answer

whts div? division

anonymous · Answer

to be honest i do not know. either it's divides..or divided by..i don't know what that abbreviation means

rane · Answer

so it is to do with division

anonymous · Answer

yes. since the one below is modulo, i would assume div is related to division. just which is the problem

i think div meants division but the result must be a entire number

anonymous · Answer

ah yes. i remember now. div is the whole number and mod is the remainder. right?

well i have given the entire no' and is u round off

rane · Answer

yes u r right @xlegendx

anonymous · Answer

but this is all assuming div means divided by. what about *if* div means -11 divides 3?

anonymous · Answer

what would be the result of that?

anonymous · Answer

i think it is -3
and
-11mod 3  = -2

anonymous · Answer

that makes sense. thanks

anonymous · Answer

i remember that it is use in programming

in programing languages

rane · Answer

sorry i just had to solve another q'

anonymous · Answer

i meant i know it's possible for programs to take the mod of things like 11mod3 but i didnt think it's possible to program it to answer 3mod11

anonymous · Answer
