What is the difference between and in R programming

Question

I've executed the following:

> 5%%2
[1] 1
> 5%2
Error: unexpected input in "5%2" 

Why am I getting an error while using '%'?

Answer 1

There is no such '%' operator in R programming. The '%%' stands for the logical AND operator.

You can check this by using the following command:

help('%%')

Answer 2

HI,

%% returns remainder in case of numeric values else returns logical or. There is no % operator. in R.
