Syntax
divmod(x, y)
The divmod() method takes two arguments and returns a tuple, with the result of the division and the remainder.
Note: The method only accepts non-complex values and the quotient returned will always be a whole number (the quotient returned is the result of a floor-division).
Example
In the code below divmod() is implemented with two positive integers:
result =divmod(10,3)print(result)Copy to clipboardCopy to clipboard
The code above results in the following output:
