6. Element-wise Remainder (Modulo)

Write a NumPy program to get the element-wise remainder of an array of division.

Sample Solution:

Python Code:

# Importing the NumPy library
import numpy as np

# Creating an array from 0 to 6
x = np.arange(7)

# Displaying the original array
print("Original array:")
print(x)

# Computing the element-wise remainder of division by 5 and displaying the result
print("Element-wise remainder of division:")
print(np.remainder(x, 5))

Sample Output:

Original array:                                                        
[0 1 2 3 4 5 6]                                                        
Element-wise remainder of division:                                    
[0 1 2 3 4 0 1]

Explanation:

In the above code:

x = np.arange(7) – This line creates an array from 0 to 6. np.remainder(x, 5) – This line calculates the remainder of each element in x when divided by 5.

So, the result printed by print(np.remainder(x, 5)) will be [0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 0, 1].

For more Practice: Solve these Related Problems:

Implement a function that calculates the modulus for corresponding elements of two arrays using np.mod.
Test the element-wise remainder operation on arrays containing both positive and negative integers.
Compare the outputs of np.mod and np.remainder to ensure they behave identically.
Use broadcasting to compute the remainder when dividing an array by a scalar and verify the result.
