% gives you the remainder of the euclidian division. For example: 42%9 is 6, because 42 is 9*4 + 6 (and 0 <= 6 < 9). x%y is 0 if x is a multiple of y. x%2 is 0 if x is even and 1 if x is odd. x%10 gives you the last digit of x. x%100 gives you the last two digits. etc. @Andreas: in C#, 10/3 is actually 3. When both operands are integers, / does an euclidian division. You must have confused with javascript or python.

Please use the search function. This is about the fifth time I copied this from my other answers. The % stands for modulo. It's the remainder of a division. First we divide our numbers 10/3. This gives us 3.3333333... Now this was from dividing. If we add modulo, 10%3 we get 1. What we want is an interger from our division. 9/3 gives 3, 9%3 = 0. 10-9 = 1. 10%3 = 1. 10/3 does not work to get an interger, but 9/3 does. So 10-9 = 1 10%3 =1 Hopefully this explained what you wanted.
