PHP: Exercise-40 with Solution
Write a PHP program to calculate the mod of two given integers without using any inbuilt modulus operator.
Sample Solution:
PHP Code:
<?php
// Function to calculate the remainder without using the modulus operator
function without_mod($m, $n)
{
// Calculate how many times $n divides into $m
$divides = (int) ($m / $n);
// Calculate the remainder without using the modulus operator
return $m - $n * $divides;
}
// Example usage of the function with inputs (13, 2)
echo without_mod(13, 2) . "\n";
// Example usage of the function with inputs (81, 3)
echo without_mod(81, 3) . "\n";
