    Default Snapshot sequence

    Hi guys, having problems understand what exactly this means :

    Write a snapshot sequence for the computation 12 mod 5 of the following
    algorithm

    MOD
    Input: a non-negative integer a and a positive integer b
    Output: the remainder when a is divided by b

    1. while a is greater than or equal to b
    2. replace a with a - b
    3. return a

    The first snapshot is
    (1. a = 12, b = 5)

    I'm not too sure what a snapshot sequence is, hopefully I can get some help with this question guys

    Can you ask whoever wrote that description what a "snapshot sequence" is?
    I've never heard of it.
    If you don't understand my answer, don't ignore it, ask a question.
