%=
Description
This is a convenient shorthand to calculate the remainder when one integer is divided by another and assign it back to the variable the calculation was done on.
Syntax
x %= divisor; // equivalent to the expression x = x % divisor;
Parameter Values
- x: variable. Allowed data types: int.
- divisor: non zero variable or constant. Allowed data types: int.
Example Code
void setup() {
Serial.begin(9600);
int x = 7;
x %= 5; // x now contains 2
Serial.print("x = ");
Serial.println(x);
}
void loop() {
}
The result on Serial Monitor:
COM6
x = 2

Clear output
9600 baud

※ NOTES AND WARNINGS:
- The compound remainder operator does not work on floats.
- If the first operand is negative, the result is negative (or zero).
Therefore, the result of x %= 10 will not always be between 0 and 9 if x can be negative.
