None of my projects have the mod block because it wasn't important. How do i even use it? You will tell me to use scratch wiki but its too complicated i want short explanation

When i do:

((9) mod (3))

The answer is 0 but when:

((9) mod (10))

Answer is 0?! can you help me?

It basically divides the first number by the second number and reports the remainder. For example

5 and 2
5-2-2=1

9 and 10
9-10=0 or no remainder

same with 9 and 3

9-3-3-3= there is no remainder

The mod block basically gets the remainder. Do you know what that is?

9 mod 10 gives the answer 9, not 0.

When dividing two numbers, the result is the quotient, and the leftover amount is the remainder. The mod operator gives the remainder as its answer.

9 / 3 = 3, remainder 0

So, 9 mod 3 = 0

9 / 2 = 4, remainder 1

So, 9 mod 2 = 1

9 / 10 = 0, remainder 9

So, 9 mod 10 = 9

They're saying that the output they were actually getting for 9 mod 10 was 9, which makes sense, not 0, as they were confused by before.

Perhaps your post added to that confusion because you said that the false output of 0 was correct:
