+The ampersand above is necessary to assign the inputted value to our variable. The ampersand tells the fscanf function where our variable is stored in memory, so that we may access and modify the value based on the input we receive from the verify script.
 ====Obtain the last two digits of this input value====
+To obtain the last 2 digits of our inputted year, we can take our year and mod (%) it by 100. Because we are using Zeller's congruence, we must subtract 1 from the year beforehand since we're dealing with January, which is considered a part of the previous year.
 ====Quarter the value====

     * Modulo and remainder are primarily the same but they handle negative numbers differently
 ====If it is a leap year subtract 1 more ====
+However, if we are using Zeller's congruence this is an unnecessary step as this is handled implicitly by Christian Zeller's algorithm. This is why we January is considered a part of the previous year and is labeled as the thirteenth month rather than the first month.
