'%' symbol represents modulus operator . It returns the remainder of the two inputs . example:- { int a,b,c; c= a%b; cout<<c; } now if a is 4 and b is 2 then , output is 0 . But if a is 5 and b is 2 then output is 1 . Hope it helps .. Good Luck.

Just to add to the previous answer, a%b returns the remainder when a is divided by b if a = qb + r where 0 <= r < n Then a % b = r I think some languages deal with it differently for negative numbers, the normal mathematical definition keeps r as positive, whereas I think Java doesn't
