+ 3
It certainly matters 3 % 10 = 3 10 % 3 = 1 even the sign of two operand is important to consider https://pasteboard.co/GCmp9GQ.jpg

10%3 gives 3 + 3 + 3 + 1 reminder (thats why the result is 1) because 3 fits in 10 three times - with 1 reminder 3%10 gives 0 + 3 rest (thats why the result is 3) because 10 does not fit in 3 (zero times) - and we have 3 as reminder
