numpy.remainder¶
- numpy.remainder(x1, x2[, out]) = <ufunc 'remainder'>¶
Return element-wise remainder of division.
Computes x1 - floor(x1 / x2) * x2, the result has the same sign as the divisor x2. It is equivalent to the Python modulus operator x1 % x2 and should not be confused with the Matlab(TM) rem function.
Parameters: x1 : array_like
Dividend array.
x2 : array_like
Divisor array.
out : ndarray, optional
Array into which the output is placed. Its type is preserved and it must be of the right shape to hold the output. See doc.ufuncs.
Returns: y : ndarray
The remainder of the quotient x1/x2, element-wise. Returns a scalar if both x1 and x2 are scalars.
Notes
Returns 0 when x2 is 0 and both x1 and x2 are (arrays of) integers.
Examples
>>> np.remainder([4, 7], [2, 3]) array([0, 1]) >>> np.remainder(np.arange(7), 5) array([0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 0, 1])
