Question

You are splitting up all your apples equally between 3 people. which statement below will calculate how many apples will be left over ?
a. var leftOver = numApples / 3;


b. var leftOver = 3/ numApples;


c. var leftOver = numApples % 3



d. var leftOver = 3% numApples

Answer 1

Answer:

The correct answer is:

c. var leftOver = numApples % 3

Explanation:

JavaScript uses different operators to perform various mathematical functions. In mathematics, when a number is not completely divisible by other the answer contains the remainder and quotient.

Modulus operator is used in JavaScript to find the remainder.

For example,

20/3 will return the quotient which is 6 while

20%3 will return the remainder which is 2

In the given statement, we have to find the number of remaining apples after being divided into three people

So,

Number of apples mod 3 will give us the number of remaining apples.

Hence,

The correct answer is:

c. var leftOver = numApples % 3
