In computing, the symbol ‘%’ is known as the modulo operator or modulo operation. Below is an example of how this operator is used to calculate whether a number is even or odd.
If ‘x’ equals a number and ‘x % 2 = 0’ then ‘x’ is an even number.
If ‘x % 2 > 0’ then x is an odd number.
In your own words, define what a modulo operation is and how it is being used in the context above to determine whether or not ‘x’ is an even or odd number.
