Modulo Operator in Python

Find the Remainder:
The modulo operator can be used to find the remainder after a division operation. For example, 7 modulo 2 would be 1, because 2 can be multiplied evenly into 7 at most 3 times:
2 * 3 = 6
Then there is 1 remaining to get from 6 to 7.
7 - 6 = 1
The modulo operator is the percent sign: %. It's important to recognize modulo is not a percentage though! That's just the symbol we're using.
remainder = 8 % 3
# remainder = 2
An odd number is a number that when divided by 2, the remainder is not 0.
Assignment
Inside the loop in the get_odd_numbers function, use the modulo operator to check if each number, i, is odd. If a number is odd, append it to the odd_numbers list. The function already returns the odd_numbers list for you. num is an integer.
