Found some weird behavior in the built in mod function (%): $a = 4; $b = 3; print ( $a % $b ); (returns 1 as it should)
Now swap $a and $b: $a = 3; $b = 4; print ( $a % $b ); This returns 3. 3?! 3/4 is 0.75. Shouldn't this return 0? Try this one: $a = 20; $b = 10; print ( $a % $b ); Shouldn't that return 2? It returns 0; $a = 11; $b = 21; print ( $a % $b ); Returns 11. What is going on? Was my C.S. Professor wrong in telling us that the % function returns the left side of the decimal in a division? This is PHP 4.3.4 Any help would be appreciated.
