In the previous article, we have discussed Python int() Method with Examples
divmod() Method in Python:
When argument1 (dividend) is divided by argument2, the divmod() function returns a tuple containing the quotient and the remainder (divisor).
Syntax:
divmod(dividend, divisor)
Parameter Values:
dividend: It is a number. The number by which you wish to divide
divisor: It is a number. The number you wish to divide by.
Return Value:
The divmod() Function returns
- (q, r) – a pair of numbers (a tuple) made up of the quotient q and the remainder r.
- If dividend and divisor are integers, the result of divmod() is (q// r, dividend %divisor ).
- If either dividend or divisor is a float, the resulting expression is (q, dividend %divisor ). In this case, q represents the entire quotient.
Examples:
Example1:
Input:
Given first number(dividend)= 3 Given second number(divisor) = 5
Output:
A Tuple containing the quotient and the remainder = (0, 3)
Example2:
Input:
Given first number(dividend) = 12.5 Given second number(divisor) = 3.5
Output:
A Tuple containing the quotient and the remainder = (3.0, 2.0)
divmod() Method with Examples in Python
Method #1: Using Built-in Functions (Static Input)
Approach:
- Give the first number as static input and store it in a variable.
- Give the second number as static input and store it in another variable.
- Pass the given first and second numbers as arguments to the divmod() function that returns a tuple containing the quotient and the remainder (divisor).
- Print the above result i.e, a tuple containing the quotient and the remainder (divisor).
- The Exit of the Program.
Below is the implementation:
# Give the first number as static input and store it in a variable.
gvn_numb1 = 3
# Give the second number as static input and store it in another variable.
gvn_numb2 = 5
# Pass the given first and second numbers as arguments to the divmod() function
# that returns a tuple containing the quotient and the remainder (divisor).
rslt = divmod(gvn_numb1, gvn_numb2)
# Print the above result i.e, a tuple containing the quotient and the remainder
# (divisor).
print("A Tuple containing the quotient and the remainder =", rslt)
Output:
A Tuple containing the quotient and the remainder = (0, 3)
Similarly, Check it out for other numbers
gvn_numb1 = 12.5
gvn_numb2 = 3.5
rslt = divmod(gvn_numb1, gvn_numb2)
print("A Tuple containing the quotient and the remainder =", rslt)
Output:
A Tuple containing the quotient and the remainder = (3.0, 2.0)
Method #2: Using Built-in Functions (User Input)
Approach:
- Give the first number as user input using the float(input()) function and store it in a variable.
- Give the second number as user input using the float(input()) function and store it in another variable.
- Pass the given first and second numbers as arguments to the divmod() function that returns a tuple containing the quotient and the remainder (divisor).
- Print the above result i.e, a tuple containing the quotient and the remainder (divisor).
- The Exit of the Program.
Below is the implementation:
# Give the first number as user input using the float(input()) function
# and store it in a variable.
gvn_numb1 = float(input("Enter some random number = "))
# Give the second number as user input using the float(input()) function
# and store it in another variable.
gvn_numb2 = float(input("Enter some random number = "))
# Pass the given first and second numbers as arguments to the divmod() function
# that returns a tuple containing the quotient and the remainder (divisor).
rslt = divmod(gvn_numb1, gvn_numb2)
# Print the above result i.e, a tuple containing the quotient and the remainder
# (divisor).
print("A Tuple containing the quotient and the remainder =", rslt)
Output:
Enter some random number = 45.5 Enter some random number = 5 A Tuple containing the quotient and the remainder = (9.0, 0.5)
