Comment (by santosj):

 The modulus gives the reminder (if you didn't already know)

 So for 0-23, it will give you 0-23. When you have more than that then it
 will start returning the reminder.

 {{{
 24 = 0 which is right, because it would be the next day.
 25 = 1 which is correct since 25-24 = 1.
 }}}
 {{{
 48 = 0
 49 = 1
 }}}

 ... so on.

 It would be better since if someone enters a number higher than 48, then
 it will return a value greater than 24, which is incorrect. Doing a while
 look is inefficient, since the modulus does everything you need. If you
 wanted to advance the day, then a while loop would be better, but you
 could just use an divide to get how many days should be advanced.
