Question

my names joe and im running into a few issues with the modulus in c++

heres the problem:

#include <iostream>
#include <string> 
using namespace std;

int main()
{
//In short, this is what i am trying to do:
//divide two numbers, and get both the quotient
//and the remainder
//however, as an example, this below produces a remainder
//of 10 
//110 \ 20 should equal 5 remainder 5
int firstInput =110, secondInput = 20;

int quotient = 0, remainder = 0;

quotient = firstInput / secondInput;

remainder = firstInput % secondInput;// i think the problem is here

cout << "The quotient is " << quotient << " and the remainder is "
    << remainder << endl;


system("pause");
return 0; 
}

basically its not computing the remainder correctly.
any help of course would be much appreciated. cheers

Answer 1

I get the correct answer…

The quotient is 5 and the remainder is 10
