--description--

The remainder operator % gives the remainder of the division of two numbers.

Example

5 % 2 = 1 5 / 2 = 2 remainder 1 2 * 2 = 4 5 - 4 = 1

Usage
In mathematics, a number can be checked to be even or odd by checking the remainder of the division of the number by 2. Even numbers have a remainder of 0, while odd numbers a remainder of 1.

17 % 2 = 1 48 % 2 = 0

Note: The remainder operator is sometimes incorrectly referred to as the modulus operator. It is very similar to modulus, but does not work properly with negative numbers.

--instructions--

Set remainder equal to the remainder of 11 divided by 3 using the remainder (%) operator.

--hints--

The variable remainder should be initialized

assert(/(const|let|var)\s+?remainder/.test(__helpers.removeJSComments(code)));

The value of remainder should be 2

assert(remainder === 2);

You should use the % operator

assert(/\s+?remainder\s*?=\s*?.*%.*;?/.test(__helpers.removeJSComments(code)));

--seed--

--after-user-code--

(function (y) {
return 'remainder = ' + y;
})(remainder);

--seed-contents--

const remainder = 0;

--solutions--

const remainder = 11 % 3;
