Can you please tell me how much is (-2) % 5 ? According to my python interpreter is 3, but do you have a wise explanation for this ? I've read that in some languages the result can be machine-dependent, but I'm not sure though. Thanks for your help. ...
I read somewhere once that the modulus operator is inefficient on small embedded devices such as 8 bit micros without integer division operator. Perhaps someone can confirm this but I thought the difference is 5-10 time slower than with an integer division operation. Is there another way to do this other than keeping a counter variable ...
So, lets say I have a number 123456. 123456 % 97 = 72. How can I determine what two digits need to be added to the end of 123456 such that the new number % 97 = 1? Note--it must always be two digits. For example, 12345676 % 97 = 1. In this case, I need to add the digits "76" to the end of the number. (This is for IBAN number calcul...
I need to do a modulus operation on very large integers. The biggest integer supported by my platform (edit: .NET 2.0) is a 64 bit integer, which aren't big enough for the numbers I'm working with. How can I do a modulus on really big integers, like 12654875632126424875387321657498462167853687516876876? I have a solution that treats t...
I'm talking about this: If we have the letter 'A' which is 77 in decimal and 4D in Hex. I am looking for the fastest way to get D. I thought about two ways: Given x is a byte. x << 4; x >> 4 x %= 16 Any other ways? Which one is faster? Thanks. ...
I'm brand new to Erlang. How do you do modulo (get the remainder of a division)? It's % in most C-like languages, but that designates a comment in Erlang. Several people answered with rem, which in most cases is fine. But I'm revisiting this because now I need to use negative numbers and rem gives you the remainder of a division, which ...
Perl print 2 % -18; --> -16 Tcl puts [expr {2 % -18}] --> -16 but VBScript wscript.echo 2 mod -18 --> 2 Why the difference? ...
In JavaScript the % operator seems to behave in a very weird manner. I tried the following: >>> (0 - 11) % 12 -11 Why does it return -11 instead of 1 (as in Python)? I am sure I am doing or expecting something wrong, but the docs don't tell me what. ...
I have a class which represents a shape. The Shape class has a property called Angle. I want the setter for this property to automatically wrap the value into the range [0,359]. Unfortunately, a simple _Angle = value % 360; only works for positive numbers. In C#, -40 % 360 == -40. Google calc does it the way I want it. The value should ...
In Perl, the % operator seems to assume integers. For instance: sub foo { my $n1 = shift; my $n2 = shift; print "perl's mod=" . $n1 % $n2, "\n"; my $res = $n1 / $n2; my $t = int($res); print "my div=$t", "\n"; $res = $res - $t; $res = $res * $n2; print "my mod=" . $res . "\n\n"; } foo( 3044.952963...
The python 2.6 docs state that x % y is defined as the remainder of x / y (http://docs.python.org/library/stdtypes.html#numeric-types-int-float-long-complex). I am not clear on what is really occurring though, as: for i in range(2, 11): print 1.0 % i prints "1.0" ten times, rather than "0.5, 0.333333, 0.25" etc. as I expected (1/2...
I need to calculate the modulus of a number in XPath, but this won't work: <xsl:if test="(count()%8)"> How would I do it? Looked at the XPath function reference here, but didn't see anything like that. THANKS FOR THE PROMPT ANSWERS! ...
I'm trying use the modulo operator (%) on long longs, and it seems to return 0 if the number is above the range of an unsigned int. Is there an operator or function that I should be using instead, or should I roll my own? -- Update: sorry for the lack of example code before, I was in a hurry, heading out the door -- Here's the code: l...
I need to calculate modulus with large number like : <?php $largenum = 95635000009453274121700; echo $largenum % 97; ?> It's not working... beacause $largenum is too big for an int in PHP. Any idea how to do this ? ...
In 32 bit integer math, basic math operations of add and multiply are computed implicitly mod 2^32, meaning your results will be the lowest order bits of the add or multiply. If you want to compute the result with a different modulus, you certainly could use any number of BigInt classes in different languages. And for values a,b,c < 2^3...
In Python and Ruby, signed integer division truncates towards negative infinity, and signed integer modulus has the same sign the second operand: >>> (-41) / 3 -14 >>> (-41) % 3 1 However, in C and Java, signed integer division truncates towards 0, and signed integer modulus has the same sign as the first operand: printf("%d\n", (-41...
Write code to determine if a number is divisible by 3. The input to the function is a single bit, 0 or 1, and the output should be 1 if the number received so far is the binary representation of a number divisible by 3, otherwise zero. Examples: input "0": (0) output 1 inputs "1,0,0": (4) output 0 inputs "1,1,0,0": (6) out...
Hi! I try to calculate with JS' modulo function, but don't get the right result (which should be 1). Here is a hardcoded piece of code. var checkSum = 210501700012345678131468; alert(checkSum % 97); Result: 66 Whats the problem here? Regards, Benedikt ...
I have to implement a digital envelope using AES and RSA, but I am having problems with the .NET implementation of the RSA algorithm. I have managed to encrypt the data (AES) with the random symetric key, but now I have to encrypt the key with RSA. The key is an array of bytes (byte[]) and the public key I have tells me only the modulu...
How do I handle big integers in C#? I have a function that will give me the product of divisors: private static int GetDivisorProduct(int N, int product) { for (int i = 1; i < N; i++) { if (N % i == 0) { Console.WriteLine(i.ToString()); product *= i; ...
