    Code Explanation

    Can someone explain what the exclamation mark in the following function does?

    Code:
    /* Multiple function definition */
    int multiple( int num1, int num2 )
    {
    
        return ! ( num2 % num1 ); /* Returns true or false */
        
    } /* End function hypotenuse */
    Thanks

    The result of the logical negation operator ! is 0 if the value of its operand compares unequal to 0, 1 if the value of its operand compares equal to 0. The result has type int. The expression !E is equivalent to (0==E).
    7. It is easier to write an incorrect program than understand a correct one.
    40. There are two ways to write error-free programs; only the third one works.*
