Modulus is kinda like division but insted of giving you have many time something can be divided, it gives you "what is left" (the remainder) after the division. 4/2 = 2 4%2 = 0 4/3 = 1,333333...... 4%3 = 1 15/7 = 2,1428......... 15%7 = 1

% is the "modulus" operator, just like + - / * Are operators, and the modulus calculation result is the the "remainder" it works just like division. but results in what is left aften the division 5/2 = 2.xxx 5%2 = 1 6/2 = 3 6%2 = 0 4/2 = 2 4%2 = 0
