Question

What value is assigned to x after the statement x = 44 % 5?

A) 4
B) 8
C) 8.8
D) 88.8%

Answer 1

The value of x after the statement 'x = 44 % 5' is 4 (Option A), which is the remainder of 44 divided by 5.

Step-by-step explanation:

The value assigned to x after the statement x = 44 % 5 is determined by the modulus operation, which finds the remainder of the division of the first number by the second number. In this case, the operation is finding the remainder of 44 divided by 5. You perform the division as follows:

1. Divide 44 by 5. The whole number result is 8 with a remainder.
2. The remainder of this division is what the modulus operator (%) returns.
3. Therefore, 44 divided by 5 is 8 with a remainder of 4.

So, the value assigned to x is 4 (Option A).
