remainder(3) BSD Library Functions Manual remainder(3)
NAME
remainder -- floating-point remainder function
SYNOPSIS
#include <math.h>
double
remainder(double x, double y);
long double
remainderl(long double x, long double y);
float
remainderf(float x, float y);
DESCRIPTION
The remainder() functions compute the value r such that r = x - n*y,
where n is the integer nearest the exact value of x/y.
If there are two integers closest to x/y, n shall be the even one. If r
is zero, it is given the same sign as x.
SPECIAL VALUES
remainder(x, y) returns a NaN and raises the "invalid" floating-point
exception if x is infinite or y is 0.
NOTE
The drem() function is deprecated. Please use the C99 function
remainder() instead.
