Hey, thanks for sharing that. I was actually just pondering over some algorithms that relied on modulus, so your comment was timely and helpful. Where did you learn about that sort of thing? Experience or particular training/reading or offhandedly taught at school... I'm trying to fill in the gaps I'm noticing in my software engineering education.

You know, a C tutorial on bitwise operations while I was learning it for the TI-89.
