Modulus operator '%' gives the remainder of any expression. For example : r=10%3; // r is 1 , because if you divide 10 by 3 then the remainder is 1

It's not hard to come up with a formula, but the language provides a built-in mechanism, the modulus operator ('%'), that computes the remainder that results from performing integer division. The modulus operator is useful in a variety of circumstances.

Modulus operator finds the remainder when a number is divided by another number. Unlike divide which gives the quotient, modulus operator gives the remainder. Example, 100/5 will give 20 and 100%5 will give 0. Also, modulus operator cannot be used with float variables.

Modulus operator returns the remainder after division operation. Division operator returns the quotient after division operation. This sample prog prints 1 for modulus operation and 3 for division operation.

What is meant by "bit masking"?
For example if you want to know if third bit is 1 or not for an int x then you can mask all other bits and just check the third one: (n & 0x04) != 0 means 3rd bit is not zero, 0x04 is the bit mask
