Definition and Usage
The mod() method finds the modulo
(remainder) of each value in the DataFrame
when you divide them by a a specified value.
The specified value must be an object that can be divided from the values in the DataFrame. It can be a
constant number like the one in the example, or it can be a list-like object
like a list [15, 20] or a tuple
{"points": 380, "total": 22}, or a Pandas
Series or another DataFrame, that fits with the original DataFrame.
Syntax
dataframe.mod(other, axis, level, fill_value)
