Most pepole Know Every block but the mod block

Right click on it and select help. Says it gives the remainder of the division of 2 numbers… what good is that we might say? Most useful is to see if the mod is zero (i think) because that way i think it means they go into each other evenly. So for regularly recurring intervals like every time score goes up by 1000 change next level you can use that but I'm not 100% sure how'd you'd write it but you'd use it somehow. Surely other uses for it too. If 1000 mod score where score is the variable equals 0 would mean 1000 goes into the score evenly or something like that then it waits until the next time 1000 mod score equals 0. But again i'm not sure on the order or specifics and may give you a problem if you don't always land exactly on the target score/ interval.

That Is very Complex for me

The simplest way to think of “mod” is that is gives the *remainder* when dividing by something.

So, for example:

More generally, the operation (M mod N) will give (in Scratch) a value ranging from zero to N-1 (that's assuming M and N are both whole numbers – I won't go into the case of M and/or N not being whole numbers here, where the highest value (M mod N) can return is then just under N).

In mathematics this corresponds to something called "modular arithmetic". This is like doing arithmetic on the face of a clock, where the numbers ‘wrap around’ once they reach a certain value – but in mathematics it starts at zero and would wrap around back to zero at the point where it would normaly reach twelve.

It's a *very* important and useful branch of mathematics – indeed, much of modern encryption methods make use of it (to secure data being sent across the internet, such as bank/card details when buying things online, for example…)

Here's one thing I used this block for:

i want to ask how to make game which has computer mode also and if we press it computer fights with us and if we jump on him he loses 1 live and if he touches us we lose 1 live?

The Mod block, which is in the operator catergory, represents the remainder of the two slots you put numbers in
For instance:

Lets try another one:

I hope this helps!
