remainder(S)

Syntax

   cc [flag ...] file ...  -lm [library ...]
   

   #include <math.h>
   

   double remainder(double x, double y);
   

   float remainderf(float x, float y);
   

   long double remainderl(long double x, long double y);
   

   double remquo(double x, double y, int *quo);
   

   float remquof(float x, float y, int *quo);
   

   long double remquol(long double x, long double y, int *quo);

Description

remquo, remquof and remquol return the floating point remainder of the division of x by y. In the object pointed to by quo they store a value whose sign is the sign of x/y and whose magnitude is congruent modulo 2^n to the magnitude of the integral quotient of x/y, where n is an implementation-defined integer greater than or equal to 3.

Errors

If x is ± and y is is not a NaN remainder and remquo (and their floating and long double equivalents) return a NaN, raise an invalid operation exception and set errno to EDOM.

On systems that support IEEE NaN, if the argument to any of these functions is a quiet NaN, that value is returned. If the argument is a signaling NaN, a quiet NaN is returned and the invalid operation exception is raised. In either case, errno is set to EDOM.
