The obvious part. Calculate the result and get the mod. Use that as a response. But probably the result is such a big number that you will not be able to calculate. That is where you to look for a trick to only calculate the mod. May be ign

Just a note in Mexico. It can be divided two parts with different water problems. In central and southern Mexico, there is abundance of rain, and it is more populated. The main problem is managing the rain. Northern Mexico is like the Ameri

Very difficult situation. Very hard to risk your life to save another. But how do you live your life knowing that you could have saved another life but you were not brave enough. Scares me just to think about being in that predicament.

Your comment is very interesting. But let me argue against it. May be when you are older, you can see the end result with more clarity, and decide that is not worth the effort and the sacrifices that you have to make. Is it better becoming

My recommendation on pair programming is that it is a good idea, you should try it, you should do it 5%, 10%, 20% of the time, whatever you want, I don't think is a good idea to do it 100%. I see two main benefits on pair programming.
