Python -基本操作符 http://www.tutorialspoint.com/python/python_basic_operators.htm

模数-左手操作数除以右手操作数并返回余数

A = 10, b = 20

B % a = 0

与许多类c语言一样，它是余数运算或模运算。有关数字类型(int, float, long, complex)请参阅文档。

模运算符，通常用于整数的余数除法，但在Python中可用于浮点数。

http://docs.python.org/reference/expressions.html

The % (modulo) operator yields the remainder from the division of the first argument by the second. The numeric arguments are first converted to a common type. A zero right argument raises the ZeroDivisionError exception. The arguments may be floating point numbers, e.g., 3.14%0.7 equals 0.34 (since 3.14 equals 4*0.7 + 0.34.) The modulo operator always yields a result with the same sign as its second operand (or zero); the absolute value of the result is strictly smaller than the absolute value of the second operand [2].

这是一个模运算 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Modulo_operation

http://docs.python.org/reference/expressions.html

根据运算的顺序，结果是

(3+2+1-5) + (4%) 2 - (1/4) + 6

(1) + (0) - (0) + 6

7

1/4=0，因为我们在做整数运算。

模运算符也可以用于打印字符串(就像在C中一样)，定义在谷歌https://developers.google.com/edu/python/strings上。

      # % operator
  text = "%d little pigs come out or I'll %s and %s and %s" % (3, 'huff', 'puff', 'blow down')

这似乎有点离题，但它肯定会帮助到某人。
