"The Modulus is the remainder of the euclidean division": According to the Wikipedia article you've referenced, the modulus is the divisor in the modulo operation, not the remainder: "the modulo operation returns the remainder or signed remainder of a division, after one number is divided by another, the latter being called the modulus of the operation."
Modulus is a term used for absolute value in complex analysis, and also a term used for the thing-being-divided-by in remainder arithmetic (actually called modular arithmetic).
The modulus operator takes a division statement and returns whatever is left over from that calculation, the "remaining" data, so to speak, such as 13 / 5 = 2. Which means, there is 3 left over, or remaining from that calculation.
30 It is the modulo (or modulus) operator: The modulus operator (%) computes the remainder after dividing its first operand by its second. For example: ... Sample output: 1 -1 0.6 0.6 -1.2 Note that the result of the % operator is equal to x – (x / y) * y and that if y is zero, a DivideByZeroException is thrown.
I was going through this theorem and the author had taken |i| to be 1. Is it defined? If yes, how? Also, How do we solve modulus for square roots, in general?

You can think of the modulus operator as giving you a remainder. count % 6 divides 6 out of count as many times as it can and gives you a remainder from 0 to 5 (These are all the possible remainders because you already divided out 6 as many times as you can). The elements of the array are all printed in the for loop, but every time the remainder is 5 (every 6th element), it outputs a newline ...
