modulo operator
<mathematics> (mod) The operator that returns the remainder after integer
division of its first argument by its second. Written as "%" in C and some other
languages.
Where the second argument is a power of two, the result can be calculated much
more quickly using bitwise and with the appropriate bit-mask.
