The Beauty of Modulus

/// The beauty of the Modulus ///

    /* Modulus, wow, almost forgot about this one.
    If you don't know, Modulus, also called
    Modulo Operation, or just Modulo; is one of the basic
    arithmetic operators. The modulo operator returns
    the remainder after division between two numbers.
    Now you might think this is no big deal, at least in real
    life on a paper, but in programming it plays an essential role in
    all kinds of source codes. With the help of modulo, you can find
    out if numbers are odd or even. Look at the following example
    below:
    */

    int x = 14;

    /* As you probably know, the number 14 is even
    because it's divisible by 2 and does not return a
    value with decimals.
    This is the point to where new programmers often encounter
    some basic problems. "How do I check if a number is even in
    programming?", might occur while sitting in front of the
    monitor. They often divide the number by 2, but then they're
    just lost. Is there a function which will tell me all this?,
    do I need to use a for loop or what do I do? The answer is Modulo.
    By simply using it you can easily check if a number is even or odd.
    */

    cout << x % 2;
    /*
    OUTPUT:
    0
    */

    /* By using the modulo operator we received the number 0, which means that
    there was no remainder, which in turn means that the number 14 is even.
    Let's look at an opposite example.
    */

    int y = 7;

    /*
    We know that this number is odd.
    */

    cout << y % 2;
    /*
    OUTPUT:
    1
    */

    /*
    This gave us the remainder of 1, which means that the number 7 is odd.
    Sorry for the long text, i'm writing this late and have no idea what to
    do else, so i'm sharing my knowledge of something instead.
