Quotients and Remainders

Dividing one number (the dividend) by another number (the divisor) to give  a whole number (the quotient) and a remainder  is fairly straightforward. However, it is easy to make a mistake, so I wrote a Python script to help me avoid errors:

import math  
run = 1  
  
print("\n>>>>>>> Quotients and Remainders <<<<<<<\n")  
  
while(run == 1):  
    os.system("clear")  
    strDividend = input("Enter a number (dividend): ")  
    strDivisor = input("Enter a divisor: ")  
    dividend = int(strDividend)  
    divisor = int(strDivisor)  
    quotient = math.trunc(dividend/divisor)  
    print()  
    print("Quotient = " + str(quotient))  
    remainder = dividend - (quotient * divisor)  
    print("Remainder = " + str(remainder))  
    print()  
  
    run = int(input("1. Continue\n2. Quit \n\n"))  
    print()  
  
    if run == 2:  
        exit()

This script is designed for working in a console environment.

I have, for a long time, wanted to run Python scripts on my websites. This is because I prefer to write programs in Python. This meant I had to rewrite my Python scripts in Javascript — the only client-side programming language that browsers support.

I’ve tried using Flask and other similar solutions, but I haven’t been able to get on with them.

I was about to give up on running Python on my websites when I came across Run Python Code on Websites: Exploring Brython by Kaustubh Gupta. I found his program for getting song lyrics particularly helpful for understanding Brython.

See the Quotients and Remainders web app on Learning Pages.org to see how I managed to get a version of the above script running on my website. You can use your browser to show the source of the page. This will show you how it works.
