So I got a problem with my logic with operators in C . I don't know how the compiler run those (%)/?
#include <stdio.h>
int main (){
int number1=1606,number2,number3,number4;
number2 = number1/5000;
number3 = (number1%5000)/1000;
number4 = (number1%5000)%1000/100;
printf("%d\n%d\n%d\n%d",number1,number2,number3,number4);
return 0;
}
So i don't understand that number3? Isn't 1606%5000 = 3212 and then / 1000 = 3 ? So i get 1 from that how its working ?
In this statement
number3 = (number1%5000)/1000;
there is used integer arithmetic. The operator % yields the remainder of the operation /.
So the sub-expression number1%5000
gives the value 1606
because
number1 can be represented like
number1 = 0 * 5000 + 1606.
Dividing the remainder by 1000
you will get 1
.
From the C Standard (6.5.5 Multiplicative operators)
5 The result of the / operator is the quotient from the division of the first operand by the second; the result of the % operator is the remainder. In both operations, if the value of the second operand is zero, the behavior is undefined.
