I think any kid learning math in school knows what a remainder is, but few understand (or are taught) what a modulus is. It obtains the remainder of one value divided by another, specifically a larger value divided by a smaller value. In C programming, the Here is sample output from my solution:<\/p>\n As shown above, your program should prompt for two integer values. The next two lines show output manipulating the values.

\nYour task for this month’s Exercise is to emulate the modulus operator. Or is it the modulo operator? Whatever. Write a function, mod()<\/em>, that accepts two integers as an argument and returns the remainder for the first divided by the second — the modulus.<\/p>\nEnter two integers separated by a space: 33 7
