JavaScript remainder assignment operator (%=) assigns the remainder to the variable after dividing a variable by the value of the right operand.
Syntax:
Operator: x %= y Meaning: x = x % y
Below example illustrate the Remainder assignment(%=) Operator in JavaScript:
Example 1: The following example demonstrates if the given number is divisible by 4 or if it’s an even or odd number.
Javascript
let num = 16; // Test if its divisible by 4 if (num % 4 == 0) { console.log( true ); } // Test for even number if (num % 2 == 0) { console.log( true ); } else { console.log( false ); } // Test for odd number if (!(num % 2 == 0)) { console.log( true ); } else { console.log( false ); }; |
Output:
true true false
Example 2: The following example demonstrates if the given number is divisible by 2, 0, and world.
Javascript
let gfg = 3; console.log((gfg %= 2)); console.log((gfg %= 0)); console.log((gfg %= "world" )); |
Output:
1 Nan Nan
