2

How would you use the remainder operator to get the remainder of dividing 5 by 2 ?

3

Still not working
binary=console.log(input%2);

4

that would never work, console.log returns undefined, so now binary has value of undefined

5

So help me then please

6

that is an help, you need to remove the console log

7

Still not working
binary=(input%2);

8

can you please share all the code you have?

or try to remove the parentheses
