In Python divmod, the function takes two numbers, divides the first by the second, and returns the tuple of quotient and reminder.
divmod(dividend,divisor) #The dividend will be divided by
The function takes two mandatory parameters, the first parameter is treated as the dividend and the second as the divisor. The second parameter cannot be zero, since
| Parameter | Description | Required / Optional |
|---|---|---|
| dividend | A number, which will be divided | Required |
| divisor | A number used to divide. The number cannot be zero | Required |
The function always returns a tuple of quotients and remainder based on the input. Both the parameters are mandatory.
| Input | Return Value |
|---|---|
| Dividend and divisor | A tuple of quotient and reminder |
| String as first parameter and encoding as the second parameter | The string encoded to bytes |
| Iterable | Byte as the same size as the iterable |
| No parameter | Creates a byte object with no elements |
result = divmod(2,1)
print(“Divmod of 2 and 1 are :”, result)
result = divmod(3.5,2.5)
print(“Divmod of 3.5 and 2.5 are :”, result)
Output:
Divmod of 2 and 1 are : (2, 0) Divmod of 3.5 and 2.5 are : (1.0, 1.0)
print('divmod(8.0, 3) = ', divmod(8.0, 3))
print('divmod(3, 8.0) = ', divmod(3, 8.0))
print('divmod(7.5, 2.5) = ', divmod(7.5, 2.5))
print('divmod(2.6, 0.5) = ', divmod(2.6, 0.5))
Output:
divmod(8.0, 3) = (2.0, 2.0) divmod(3, 8.0) = (0.0, 3.0) divmod(7.5, 2.5) = (3.0, 0.0) divmod(2.6, 0.5) = (5.0, 0.10000000000000009)
