number %% 100

[miskox]

This has been asked in the past (also by myself) but I would like to have this information in one place for all the different operations:

I would like someone to explain these operations we see in some programs:

Code: Select all

set /a remain=cnt %% 100

I tried with a loop to see what happens and I see that the code above calculates the remainder.

Code above is the same as:

Code: Select all

set /a aa=cnt / 100
set /a remain=cnt - aa * 100

Please help and then we can post them all in one post. I think I remember someone saying that these operations are from 'C'?

Thanks.

You just explained the modulus operator perfectly. What's your question?

I wanted to know what are all possible operators (with the explanation). And I see Squashman provided very useful link.

Thanks.
