You have probably discovered that the $\%$ operator performs the remainder operation when used with two positive integer arguments. But what does it do when one or both argu$-$

ments are negative?

$>>>11\%3$

$2$

$>11\%-3$

$-1$

$>>>-11\%3$

$1$

$>>-11\%-3$

$-2$ Try to come up with an explanation of this behavior. To do so$,$ make a chart of the values from $-15$ to $15,$ and for each compute the result when used with the mod operator and the value $3.$ Then do the same chart with $-3.$ Can you see a pattern? From this pattern can you

explain the behavior of the mod operator?

$2/2$
