The modulo in Python is confusing.
In Python, % operator is calculating the remainder:
>>> 9 % 5
4
However:
>>> -9 % 5

Why is the result 1? and not -4?

In C a floor division can be done, eg:
int floor_div(int a, int b) {
int d = a / b;
if (a < 0 != b < 0) { /* negative output (check inputs since 'd' isn't floored) */
if (d * a != b) { /*...

In Java, if we divide bytes, shorts or ints, we always get an int. If one of the operands is long, we'll get long.
My question is - why does byte or short division not result in byte or short? Why...

Unlike in C, in Java is the result of x/y and x%y well-defined even for negative operands. Surprisingly, it's defined by rounding towards zero, and not by rounding down (i.e., towards negative infi...

How can I perform ceiling division on an integer? I want to avoid converting to a floating point value.
For example, 7 / 4 should return 2, not 1.

Is it possible to divide an unsigned integer by 10 by using pure bit shifts, addition, subtraction and maybe multiply? Using a processor with very limited resources and slow divide.

I remember in java that, the modulo operator could be inverted so that rather than seeing what the remainder is of an operation, you could invert it, so instead it will tell you many times a number...
