c语言中7%3是什么意思,为什么7%（-4）的结果是3？

新的C++11标准对取余有了比较明确的规定：

C++ Primer 5th:

The % operator, known as the “remainder” or the “modulus” operator, computes the remainder that results from dividing the left-hand operand by the right-hand operand. The operands to % must have integral type.

In a division, a nonzero quotient is positive if the operands have the same sign and negative otherwise. Earlier versions of the language permitted a negative quotient to be rounded up or down; the new standard requires the quotient to be rounded toward zero (i.e., truncated).

The modulus operator is defined so that if m and n are integers and n is nonzero, then (m/n)*n + m%n is equal to m. By implication, if m%n is nonzero, it has the same sign as m. Earlier versions of the language permitted m%n to have the same sign as n on implementations in which negative m/n was rounded away from zero, but such implementations are now prohibited. Moreover, except for the obscure case where -m overflows, (-m)/n and m/(-n) are always equal to -(m/n), m%(-n) is equal to m%n,

and (-m)%n is equal to -(m%n). More concretely:

m%(-n) is equal to m%n,所以7%-4等同于7%4
