Python divmod() Method

##

What is Python divmod() Method?

The divmod() method takes two numbers and returns a pair of numbers inside a tuple consisting of their quotient and remainder.

The syntax of divmod() is:

divmod(x,y)

divmod() Parameters

divmod() takes two parameters:
x - a non-complex number that can be referred to as a numerator.
y - a non-complex number that can be referred to as denominator

Let see an example of divmod() method.

Example: How divmod() works in python?

print('divmod(1, 3) = ', divmod(1, 3))
print('divmod(5, 8) = ', divmod(5, 8))
print('divmod(4, 4) = ', divmod(4, 4))

# divmod() with Floats
print('divmod(4.0, 3) = ', divmod(4.0, 3))
print('divmod(7, 9.0) = ', divmod(7, 9.0))
print('divmod(2.6, 0.5) = ', divmod(2.6, 0.5))

The output will be as follows.

divmod(1, 3) =  (0, 1)
divmod(5, 8) =  (0, 5)
divmod(4, 4) =  (1, 0)
divmod(4.0, 3) =  (1.0, 1.0)
divmod(7, 9.0) =  (0.0, 7.0)
divmod(2.6, 0.5) =  (5.0, 0.10000000000000009)

Rules of divmod()

(q, r) - a pair of numbers will be a tuple consisting of quotient q and a remainder r.

If x and y are integers, the return values from divmod() is same as (a //b , x % y).
