HELP in a logical issue |
How can I tell a computer, in C++, to give me the reminder on a
division problem?
If (Quotient)(Divisor) + Reminder = Dividend
How do I get the reminder by itself?
How do I tell C++ that I want the reminder.
If I write
quot = num2/num1; It won't give me the reminder.
Thank you for your help.

If you want both, then consider "div":

What book are you reading that doesn't mention the % (modulo) operator?

In C++ (and in C), the modulo operator is %. It gives the "remainder"
of an integral division. For example:
int i = 7 % 3; // i is now equal to 1, which is the remainder of 7
divided by 3.
Best regards,
Tom

C++ provides the modulus operator (%), which will generally do the job.
If you have to deal with negative numbers, you may need to do a little
extra work to get exactly what you want though.
