Used to divide two numbers and return only the remainder.
Syntax
result = number1 % number2
Arguments
- result
- Any variable.
- number1

The modulus, or remainder, operator divides number1 by number2 (rounding floating-point numbers to integers) and returns only the remainder as result. For example, in the following expression, A (which is result) equals 5.
A = 19 % 6.7
