For the usual mod gotchas, see http://mindprod.com/jgloss/modulus.html

Most of the trouble comes when there are negative numbers involved.
You also might like to brush up on precedence.

The question I would ask myself is, "Which results do I agree with, my
prof's or my program's?".  If "my program's",  consider the
possibility you could have misunderstood the question, heard the prof
incorrectly or failed to take accurate notes during the class.
