Question

When I'm using % symbol it is showing the below error message:

Found punctuation symbol or operator '%' that isn't valid in Apex.

In most languages that use it, it represents the modulus operation.

In APEX, you use Math.Mod()

if (Math.Mod(x, 2) == 0) {
    system.debug(x + ' is even');
}

APEX Expression Operators Reference shows that there is no definition of a % operator.

All of the information you'll need is in the links I posted. The first one shows the math class and everything that it can do and the second shows all of the operators that are supported in salesforce alongside descriptions for them.
