remainderl is called. Otherwise, if any argument has integer type or has type double, remainder is called. Otherwise, remainderf is called.The IEEE floating-point remainder of the division operation x/y calculated by this function is exactly the value x - n * y, where the value n is the integral value nearest the exact value x/y. When |n-x/y| = ½, the value n is chosen to be even.
In contrast to fmod(), the returned value is not guaranteed to have the same sign as x.
If the returned value is 0, it will have the same sign as x.
Parameters
| x, y | - | floating-point values |
Return value
If successful, returns the IEEE 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 is returned.
If y is zero, but the domain error does not occur, zero 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),
- The current rounding mode has no effect.
- FE_INEXACT is never raised, the result is always exact.
- If x is ±∞ and y is not NaN, NaN is returned and FE_INVALID is raised.
- If y is ±0 and x is not NaN, NaN is returned and FE_INVALID is raised.
- 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.
Example
#include <fenv.h> #include <math.h> #include <stdio.h> // #pragma STDC FENV_ACCESS ON int main(void) { printf("remainder(+5.1, +3.0) = %.1f\n", remainder(5.1, 3)); printf("remainder(-5.1, +3.0) = %.1f\n", remainder(-5.1, 3)); printf("remainder(+5.1, -3.0) = %.1f\n", remainder(5.1, -3)); printf("remainder(-5.1, -3.0) = %.1f\n", remainder(-5.1, -3)); // special values printf("remainder(-0.0, 1.0) = %.1f\n", remainder(-0.0, 1)); printf("remainder(+5.1, Inf) = %.1f\n", remainder(5.1, INFINITY)); // error handling feclearexcept(FE_ALL_EXCEPT); printf("remainder(+5.1, 0) = %.1f\n", remainder(5.1, 0)); if (fetestexcept(FE_INVALID)) puts(" FE_INVALID raised"); }
Output:
remainder(+5.1, +3.0) = -0.9
remainder(-5.1, +3.0) = 0.9
remainder(+5.1, -3.0) = -0.9
remainder(-5.1, -3.0) = 0.9
remainder(+0.0, 1.0) = 0.0
remainder(-0.0, 1.0) = -0.0
remainder(+5.1, Inf) = 5.1
remainder(+5.1, 0) = -nan
