This is my first question here (yay!). This may seem like a silly question but in a if statement like the one below what does % mean?
if n % i == 0:
print("hi")
The ‘%’ is the modulus operator. It’s the remainder after integer division.
5/2 is 2 remainder 1. So 5%2 is 1.
In the specific case of comparing to zero, it checks divisibility. So n%i will be equal to zero if and only if n is evenly divisible by i.
