--description--

The remainder operator % gives the remainder of the division of two numbers.

Example

5 % 2 = 1 because
Math.floor(5 / 2) = 2 (Quotient)
2 * 2 = 4
5 - 4 = 1 (Remainder)

Usage
In mathematics, a number can be checked to be even or odd by checking the remainder of the division of the number by 2.

17 % 2 = 1 (17 is Odd)
48 % 2 = 0 (48 is Even)

Note: The remainder operator is sometimes incorrectly referred to as the modulus operator. It is very similar to modulus, but does not work properly with negative numbers.

--instructions--

Set remainder equal to the remainder of 11 divided by 3 using the remainder (%) operator.

--hints--

The variable remainder should be initialized

assert(/var\s+?remainder/.test(code));

The value of remainder should be 2

assert(remainder === 2);

You should use the % operator

assert(/\s+?remainder\s*?=\s*?.*%.*;?/.test(code));

--seed--

--after-user-code--

(function(y){return 'remainder = '+y;})(remainder);

--seed-contents--

// Only change code below this line

var remainder;

--solutions--

var remainder =  11 % 3;
