fmodl is called. Otherwise, if any argument has integer type or has type double, fmod is called. Otherwise, fmodf is called.The floating-point remainder of the division operation x/y calculated by this function is exactly the value x - n*y, where n is x/y with its fractional part truncated.
The returned value has the same sign as x and is less or equal to y in magnitude.
Parameters
| x, y | - | floating-point values |
Return value
If successful, returns the floating-point remainder of the division x/y as defined above.
If a domain error occurs, an implementation-defined value is returned (NaN where supported).
If a range error occurs due to underflow, the correct result (after rounding) is returned.
Error handling
Errors are reported as specified in math_errhandling.
Domain error may occur if y is zero.
If the implementation supports IEEE floating-point arithmetic (IEC 60559),
- If
xis ±0 andyis not zero, ±0 is returned - If
xis ±∞ andyis not NaN, NaN is returned and FE_INVALID is raised - If
yis ±0 andxis not NaN, NaN is returned and FE_INVALID is raised - If
yis ±∞ andxis finite,xis returned. - If either argument is NaN, NaN is returned.
Notes
POSIX requires that a domain error occurs if x is infinite or y is zero.
fmod, but not remainder is useful for doing silent wrapping of floating-point types to unsigned integer types: (0.0 <= (y = fmod(rint(x), 65536.0 )) ? y : 65536.0 + y) is in the range [-0.0 .. 65535.0], which corresponds to unsigned short, but remainder(rint(x), 65536.0) is in the range [-32767.0, +32768.0], which is outside of the range of signed short.
The double version of fmod behaves as if implemented as follows:
Example
#include <fenv.h> #include <math.h> #include <stdio.h> // #pragma STDC FENV_ACCESS ON int main(void) { printf("fmod(+5.1, +3.0) = %.1f\n", fmod(5.1, 3)); printf("fmod(-5.1, +3.0) = %.1f\n", fmod(-5.1, 3)); printf("fmod(+5.1, -3.0) = %.1f\n", fmod(5.1, -3)); printf("fmod(-5.1, -3.0) = %.1f\n", fmod(-5.1, -3)); // special values printf("fmod(+0.0, 1.0) = %.1f\n", fmod(0, 1)); printf("fmod(-0.0, 1.0) = %.1f\n", fmod(-0.0, 1)); printf("fmod(+5.1, Inf) = %.1f\n", fmod(5.1, INFINITY)); // error handling feclearexcept(FE_ALL_EXCEPT); printf("fmod(+5.1, 0) = %.1f\n", fmod(5.1, 0)); if (fetestexcept(FE_INVALID)) puts(" FE_INVALID raised"); }
Possible output:
fmod(+5.1, +3.0) = 2.1
fmod(-5.1, +3.0) = -2.1
fmod(+5.1, -3.0) = 2.1
fmod(-5.1, -3.0) = -2.1
fmod(+0.0, 1.0) = 0.0
fmod(-0.0, 1.0) = -0.0
fmod(+5.1, Inf) = 5.1
fmod(+5.1, 0) = nan
