Chapter 3.101-102 The Modulus Operator

14 pounds

A stone is_______, and most British bathroom scales are calibrated in this unit.

modulus

In combination with integer division, the_______operation is particularly useful in problems that require dividing a quantity into different integral units, such as converting inches to feet or converting dollars to quarters, dimes, nickels, and pennies.

int

In the expression lbs / Lbs_per_stn, both operands are type_______, so the computer performs integer division.

modulus

Most people are more familiar with addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division than with the_______operation, so let's take a moment to look at the operator in action.

integer

The modulus operator returns the remainder of an_______division.

weight in pounds to stone

The modulus reverses the process, converting_______.

integer

The program uses________division to find the largest number of whole stone in the weight, and it uses the modulus operator to find the number of pounds left over.
