3. The modulo function (a mod n or a modulo n) maps every positive integer number to the remainder of the division of a/n. For example, the expression 22 mod 5 would evaluate to 2 since 22 divided by 5 is 4 with a remainder of 2. The expression 10 mod 5 would resolve to 0 since 10 is divisible by 5 and there is not a remainder.
a. If n is fixed as 5, is this function one-to-one?
