C Language: fmod function
(Floating Modulus)
In the C Programming Language, the fmod function returns the remainder when x is divided by y.
Syntax
The syntax for the fmod function in the C Language is:
double fmod(double x, double y);
x is divided by y.
Returns
The fmod function returns the remainder when x is divided by y.
Required Header
In the C Language, the required header for the fmod function is:
#include <math.h>
Applies To
In the C Language, the fmod function can be used in the following versions:
- ANSI/ISO 9899-1990
fmod Example
/* Example using fmod by TechOnTheNet.com */
#include <stdio.h>
#include <math.h>
int main(int argc, const char * argv[])
{
/* Define temporary variables */
double value1, value2;
double result;
/* Assign the values we will find the fmod of */
value1 = 1.6;
value2 = 1.2;
/* Calculate the remainder of value1 / value2 */
result = fmod(value1, value2);
/* Display the result of the calculation */
printf("The fmod of %f and %f is %f\n", value1, value2, result);
return 0;
}
When compiled and run, this application will output:
The fmod of 1.600000 and 1.200000 is 0.400000
