Exaplanation of Code Please

Can anyone tell me what the % sign does in the following function?

i=z%CONST;

Thanks.

Well, that's not a function, but that aside...

The % sign is the modulus operator. That is to say, it gives you the remainder of dividing the left side by the right side.

int x = 7 % 3;

x is now 1, because 7 / 3 is 2 with a remainder of 1.

I'd suggest buying a C book.

In this case it would be the modulus operator. It divides the value in z by the value in CONST, and assigns the remainder from that operation to the variable i.
