Comments: The modulo operation j%N is used to convert the ascending sequence of array indexes (0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,...) into a repeating sequence (0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,0,1,2,...). Everytime the repeating sequence hits "9", a newline character is output, which means 10 values are output per line. This use of the modulo operation is common.
