Type

function

From

<cmath>
<ctgmath>
<math.h>

Description

Returns the floating-point remainder of numer/denom (rounded to nearest):

remainder = numer - rquot * denom

Where rquot is the result of: numer/ denom, rounded toward the nearest integral value.

Prototype

long double remainderl (long double numer, long double denom);
long double remainder (long double numer, long double denom);
     double remainder  (double numer     , double denom);
      float remainderf (float numer      , float denom);
     double remainder (Type1 numer      , Type2 denom);

Parameters

Parameter	Description
numer	Value of the quotient numerator.
denom	Value of the quotient denominator.

Return Value

The remainder of dividing the arguments.

Example
