divrem

divrem(x, y)

The quotient and remainder from Euclidean division. Equivalent to (x÷y, x%y).

Examples

  1. Calculate quotient and remainder:

    julia> divrem(17, 5)
    (3, 2)

    This example calculates the quotient and remainder of 17 divided by 5. The quotient is 3, and the remainder is 2.

  2. Handle negative numbers:

    julia> divrem(-10, 3)
    (-3, -1)

    It handles negative numbers correctly. In this example, -10 divided by 3 gives a quotient of -3 and a remainder of -1.

  3. Divide by zero:

    julia> divrem(10, 0)
    ERROR: DivideError: integer division error

    When dividing by zero, it throws a DivideError indicating an integer division error.

  4. Divide non-integer values:
    julia> divrem(10.5, 2.2)
    (4.0, 2.0999999999999996)

    The divrem function can also be used to divide non-integer values. In this example, 10.5 divided by 2.2 gives a quotient of 4.0 and a remainder of 2.0999999999999996.

Common mistake example:

julia> divrem(10, "2")
ERROR: MethodError: no method matching divrem(::Int64, ::String)

In this example, the function is called with non-numeric arguments. The divrem function expects numeric arguments, so make sure to provide appropriate numerical values to avoid such errors.
