Yup. The modulo operator simply always returns the remainder after division. 5 % 6 = 5 11 % 6 = 5 12 % 6 = 0 13 % 6 = 1 837 % 6 = 3 It’s especially useful

12 % 6 = 0

It’s especially useful for repeating sequences:
> for x in [0, 1, 2, 3, 4]:
print(“odd” if (x % 2) else “even”)
even
odd
even
odd
even
> for x in [0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5]:
print(“pah” if (x % 3) else “oom”)
oom
pah
pah
oom
pah
pah
