using the modulus operator What the following code says is 'if the remainder of a number divided by two is 0, then it is divisible by 2 otherwise there is a remainder of ____'
number = 16
if((number % 2)==0)then
print("divisible")
else
print("there is a remainder of ", number%2)
end

that was a pointing fingers emoji not sure why it defaulted to question marks.
You would use "no % 2" so it would be something like this:
print(1%2 == 0) -- prints false because it's not even
print(2%2 == 0) -- prints true because it's even
print(3%2 == 0) -- false
print(4%2 == 0) -- true
I think that the % operator gives you the remaining of a multiplication or something but I am not sure
You can use the modulus operator(%), which finds out the remainder in division, such as
6÷4=1...2
is equal to
6%4=2
You can use it in this way:
local num = 8
if num%2 == 0 then -- Checks whether the remainder of 8/2 is equal to 0
-- Do something here
end
