Modulo (opération) code example
Example: modulo operator
Example: 5 % 2 = 1
Think about it like this:
Of 5 items, remove as many sets of 2 as you can. Whatever item(s) remains
is the answer, aka the remainder.
Visual example of 5 % 2:
Start with 5 items:
item1, item2, item3, item4, item5
Remove 2:
item3, item4, item5
Remove another 2:
item5
No more sets of 2 can be removed and there is 1 item remaining. So the answer
would be 1
More general:
n % m
Of n items, choose as many sets of m as you can. Whatever item(s) remains
is the answer, aka the remainder.
