Divmod () function in Python

The divmod () function in Python returns a tuple that includes quotient and balance when parameter 1 (divisible) divides by parameter 2 (divisor)

The syntax of the divmod () function in Python

 divmod(x, y) 

The parameters of the divmod function ()

divmod () has two parameters:

1. x : numerator (divided number)
2. y : denominator (divisor)

x, y is not a complex number.

Value returned from divmod ()

1. The divmod () function returns a tuple (q, r) , where q is the quotient and r is the balance of (x, y).
2. If x and y are integers, the value returned from divmod () will be (a // b, x% y) .
3. If x or y is float, the result is (q, x% y). Here, q is the whole quotient.

Example: The divmod () function works in Python

 print('divmod(8, 3) = ', divmod(8, 3)) 
 print('divmod(3, 8) = ', divmod(3, 8)) 
 print('divmod(5, 5) = ', divmod(5, 5)) 
  
 # code by TipsMake.com 
 # divmod() với Float 
 print('divmod(8.0, 3) = ', divmod(8.0, 3)) 
 print('divmod(3, 8.0) = ', divmod(3, 8.0)) 
 print('divmod(7.5, 2.5) = ', divmod(7.5, 2.5)) 
 print('divmod(2.6, 0.5) = ', divmod(2.6, 0.5)) 

Run the program, the result is:

 divmod(8, 3) = (2, 2) 
 divmod(3, 8) = (0, 3) 
 divmod(5, 5) = (1, 0) 
 divmod(8.0, 3) = (2.0, 2.0) 
 divmod(3, 8.0) = (0.0, 3.0) 
 divmod(7.5, 2.5) = (3.0, 0.0) 
 divmod(2.6, 0.5) = (5.0, 0.10000000000000009)
