the most basic one if for understanding if the number is even or not

#include <iostream>
using namespace std; 
int main(){
int even_number = 12,number = 11; 
if(even_number%2==0)
cout<<"its even"<<'\n'; 
if(number % 2 == 0)
cout<<"even"<<'\n'; 
else 
cout<<"not even"; 
return 0; }```

it can be used to get the last integer in the number, last 2 integers, so on

it can be done by %10 (in order to get last integer) or %100 (in order to get last 2 integers)

there are a lot of uses, you will understand them after you gain some experience by solving tasks

[royal cloud]

yes that i want to know

what is its use

[royal cloud]

2%3 output = 1
but how %100 will work please give an example

[unreal gazelle]

for example 1234

1234/100 = 12.34

it will cout<<34

#include <iostream>
using namespace std; 
int main(){
cout<<1234%100<<'\n'<<1234%10<<'\n'<<1234/1000;
return 0; }```

[unreal gazelle]

;compile

Program Output

34
