It's the modulo operator: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Modulo_operation Basically, a%b subtracts from a the largest multiple of b without getting a negative number and then takes the remainder 5%4 = 5-4*1 = 1 9%4 = 9-4*2 = 1 12%4 = 12-4*3 = 0 ...and so on. One can observe that by using the modulo operator one will always get a value lower than b.
