Hmm I was lookin through a recursion program in this book i have here and the only thing I'm having trouble with is the modulus operator.

I know that it returns the remainder of 2 numbers.

But, suppose I have this: x % y

If x > y then the result is x. Am I tripping out o_O?

if x is 6 and y is 2, then the result is 0.
