All I Know about mod that it does a module

Ok…………………….

Here, it refers to MODULO, which is basically “if I divide this number by x, what's the leftover?”. So for instance, if you do something with modulo 2, then if it returns 0, that means it's an even number.

Ok thanks

following on to what @Jlerpy said, if a variable reaches higher than the number you want to use for the mod block, it will restart.

Yes, so for example, if you were to use mod 3:
1 = 1
2 = 2
3 = 0
4 = 1
5 = 2
6 = 0
7 = 1
and so on

This stands for “modulo”:



Also, this can be used to detect even and odd numbers since even mod 2 results in 0, odd mod 2 results in 0.

It's just a fancy way of saying remainder.

Remember in early division, when you didn't know what to do with the smaller part of the number? Like if I had 47 and I had to divide it by 7, I would get 6 and then a remainder of 5.

Therefor, ((47) mod (7) is 5, because 5 is the remainder.

Lets say it's x mod y. Imagine a clock with a number of hours equal to y. Then, starting at 1, you move x hours. Lets say it's 8 mod 5, then the clock has 5 hours, and you count 8 numbers, going: 1, 2, 3, 4, 0, 1, 2, 3. 8 mod 5 = 3. Just so you know, a real life clock is x mod 12.
