Cyclic Permutation in C: Create Alphabet Pattern with Nested For Loops

[TheSourceCode]

Use nested for loops to produce the following pattern of cyclic permutations of the English
alphabet:
abcde...yz
bcdef...za
cdef...zab
...
zabcde...xy
HINT: you may find the modulo (remainder) operator % useful.

I have an idea of how to do this but it would not use the modulo operator. I thought of saving the first letter of an array into a variable, shifting everything else down one and putting it at the end. This also would only implement a single for loop. Any clues would be greatly appreciated.

Yes, there are probably a million ways to do this, but I suggest that you have one loop generating the first character of each string and an inner loop (since that what was asked for) generating the successive letters of each string - using modulo operator to make the wrap from z to a.

Thanks a lot. Took me a bit to get the wrap around to work properly but I got it. I don't think modulo was very intuitive to me before but now I get it.
