My simplistic answer would be that it is the remainder of integer division thus in following list, you can see the pattern that regardless of whether we use 2, 8 or 980 they are modulo'ed with the value 3, they will always yield a value of 2. 0 mod 3 = 0 1 mod 3 = 1 2 mod 3 = 2 3 mod 3 = 0 4 mod 3 = 1 5 mod 3 = 2 6 mod 3 = 0 7 mod 3 = 1 8 mod 3 = 2 9 mod 3 = 0 10 mod 3 = 1 The wiki article on Modular arithmetic actually taught me something about the subject (beyond the fact that my maths are very rusty) in that it could be thought of as clock mathematics. In computer science, it is the remainder operator that is usually indicated by either "%" (e.g.In C, Java, Javascript, Perl and Python) or "mod" (e.g. In BASIC, SQL, Haskell), with exceptions (e.g. Excel).
These operators are commonly pronounced as "mod", but it is specifically a remainder that is computed (since in C99 negative number will be returned if the first argument is negative, and in Python a negative number will be returned if the second argument is negative). The function modulo instead of mod, like 38 ≡ 14 (modulo 12) is sometimes used to indicate the common residue rather than a remainder (e.g. In Ruby). Modulo Operation "In computing, the modulo operation finds the remainder of division of one number by another.
" This article is rather handy for programmers as it indicates the modulus operator in a large variety of languages.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
