all Python 3operatorfunction

operator.imod

in-place

In-place modulo: a %= b; for strings, %-formatting.

Syntax

operator.imod(a, b)

For strings % is formatting, not a remainder: imod('%s-%d', ('a', 3)) returns 'a-3'. For numbers the sign of the result follows the divisor, as with mod. Strings and numbers are immutable, so assign the result: s = imod(s, args).

Examples

import operator
print(operator.imod(7, 3))   # → 1
print(operator.imod(7, 3) == 7 % 3)   # → True
print(operator.imod(-7, 3))   # → 2
print(list(map(operator.imod, [10, 11, 12], [3, 3, 5])))   # → [1, 2, 2]
print(operator.imod('%s!', 'hi'))   # → hi!
