my answer. var Remainder = 2 % 11;
and I get the error message; ReferenceError: ‘remainder’ is undefined, the question is; 11 / 3 what is the % ( Remainder)
Hi this is the question;
The remainder operator % gives the remainder of the division of two numbers.
Example;
5 % 2 = 1 because
Math.floor(5 / 2) = 2 (Quotient)
2 * 2 = 4
5 - 4 = 1 (Remainder)
Usage
In mathematics, a number can be checked even or odd by checking the remainder of the division of the number by 2.
17 % 2 = 1 (17 is Odd)
48 % 2 = 0 (48 is Even)
Note
The remainder operator is sometimes incorrectly referred to as the “modulus” operator. It is very similar to modulus, but does not work properly with negative numbers.
Instructions
Set remainder equal to the remainder of 11 divided by 3 using the remainder (%) operator.
My answer was;
var Remainder = 2 % 11;
but I get an error message ReferenceError: ‘remainder’ is undefined. If I try and write anything else it gives other warnings.
Hi Randell,
I understand what the symbols mean, and of course how to use / * + -, I understand what the % stands for ( remainder) of the number after calculation.
I can enter the code adding the value; var Remainder = 2 % 11; which should mean 2 remaining out of 11 after the calculation right.
So why is the var remainder undefined? ReferenceError: ‘remainder’ is undefined
I have assigned a value to it; eg; the number 2 so it is equal to the remainder of 11/3.
this is how I have written the code; var Remainder= 2 % 11;
OK right see it…thankyou for pointing out the not so obvious to me…
I assumed they wanted me to add to the code not change it, many thanks.
var remainder = 11%3;
