Hey there,

I know it's a bit late, but can we use the modulus operator in HSC algorithm questions?

A modulus operator, "%" can be used to calculate the remainder of a division operation:

10%6 = 4 as 10/6 = 1 .... 4 has remainder 4.

And also, can we just say that "array starts from 1 or 0" in a specific question?

Let me know what you think about those... Our teacher didn't mention whether we can or can not.

Cheers,
Lincoln

Yes you can do both of those things. However don’t write the array one if the question tells you what index it starts at.

As said above write mod. Although I don’t think I’ve ever seen an algorithm question in the history of the HSC where you had to use modulo.
