It means the the variable counter is of the form $x.20 +1 (x \in \mathbb{N})$ or in other words, counter is One more than a multiple of 20 (21,41,61 etc.)

    One should be careful about this. If `counter` is negative then your statement is false, as most programming languages have the `%` operator return a result of the same sign as the first argument.2012-06-16
