NAME
div, ldiv, lldiv, imaxdiv - compute quotient and remainder of an integer division SYNOPSIS
#include <stdlib.h> div_t div(int numerator, int denominator); ldiv_t ldiv(long numerator, long denominator); lldiv_t lldiv(long long numerator, long long denominator); #include <inttypes.h> imaxdiv_t imaxdiv(intmax_t numerator, intmax_t denominator); Feature Test Macro Requirements for glibc (see feature_test_macros(7)): lldiv(): _XOPEN_SOURCE >= 600 || _ISOC99_SOURCE || _POSIX_C_SOURCE >= 200112L; or cc -std=c99 DESCRIPTION
The div() function computes the value numerator/denominator and returns the quotient and remainder in a structure named div_t that contains two integer members (in unspecified order) named quot and rem. The quotient is rounded toward zero. The result satisfies quot*denomina- tor+rem = numerator. The ldiv(), lldiv(), and imaxdiv() functions do the same, dividing numbers of the indicated type and returning the result in a structure of the indicated name, in all cases with fields quot and rem of the same type as the function arguments. RETURN VALUE
The div_t (etc.) structure. ATTRIBUTES
Multithreading (see pthreads(7)) The div(), ldiv(), lldiv(), and imaxdiv() functions are thread-safe. CONFORMING TO
SVr4, 4.3BSD, C89. C99. The functions lldiv() and imaxdiv() were added in C99. EXAMPLE
After div_t q = div(-5, 3); the values q.quot and q.rem are -1 and -2, respectively. SEE ALSO

NAME
div, ldiv, lldiv - compute the quotient and remainder SYNOPSIS
#include <stdlib.h> div_t div(int numer, int denom); ldiv_t ldiv(long int numer, long int denom); lldiv_t lldiv(long long numer, long long denom); DESCRIPTION
The div() function computes the quotient and remainder of the division of the numerator numer by the denominator denom. It provides a well- defined semantics for the signed integral division and remainder operations, unlike the implementation-defined semantics of the built-in operations. The sign of the resulting quotient is that of the algebraic quotient, and if the division is inexact, the magnitude of the resulting quotient is the largest integer less than the magnitude of the algebraic quotient. If the result cannot be represented, the behavior is undefined; otherwise, quotient * denom + remainder will equal numer. The ldiv() and lldiv() functions are similar to div(), except that the arguments and the members of the returned structure are different. The ldiv() function returns a structure of type ldiv_t and has type long int. The lldiv() function returns a structure of type lldiv_t and has type long long. RETURN VALUES
The div() function returns a structure of type div_t, comprising both the quotient and remainder: int quot; /*quotient*/ int rem; /*remainder*/ The ldiv() function returns a structure of type ldiv_t and lldiv() returns a structure of type lldiv_t, comprising both the quotient and remainder: long int quot; /*quotient*/ long int rem; /*remainder*/ ATTRIBUTES
