Basic JavaScript - Finding a Remainder in JavaScript

JavaScript
1

I’m pretty confused on what exactly its asking? The variable should be initialized, which it is (check below)
I’m using the % as the operator but for some reason I’m not showing the value remainder to be 2, how?

Your code so far

const remainder = 0;
remainder = 11 % 3;
print("The value of remainder is 2.")

They asked to “set the value of the remainder variable,” so instead of re-assigning it, maybe they want you to change the value of the original remainder variable declaration, in place.

Welcome to the forum.
If you try changing the const remainder to a var remainder and to the value remainder of 2, and complete the instructions as you have done, you should pass it. Happy coding.

You use % to get remainders

Keep it simple… just delete the zero and set const remainder=11%3;

it’s a const… so you can’t re-assign it!
