NAME
remainder, remainderf, remainderl - remainder function SYNOPSIS
#include <math.h> double remainder(double x, double y); float remainderf(float x, float y); long double remainderl(long double x, long double y); DESCRIPTION
These functions shall return the floating-point remainder r= x- ny when y is non-zero. The value n is the integral value nearest the exact value x/ y. When |n-x/y|=0.5, the value n is chosen to be even. The behavior of remainder() shall be independent of the rounding mode. RETURN VALUE
Upon successful completion, these functions shall return the floating-point remainder r= x- ny when y is non-zero. If x or y is NaN, a NaN shall be returned. If x is infinite or y is 0 and the other is non-NaN, a domain error shall occur, and either a NaN (if supported), or an implementation- defined value shall be returned. ERRORS
These functions shall fail if: Domain Error The x argument is +-Inf, or the y argument is +-0 and the other argument is non-NaN. If the integer expression (math_errhandling & MATH_ERRNO) is non-zero, then errno shall be set to [EDOM]. If the integer expression (math_errhandling & MATH_ERREXCEPT) is non-zero, then the invalid floating-point exception shall be raised. The following sections are informative. EXAMPLES
None. APPLICATION USAGE
On error, the expressions (math_errhandling & MATH_ERRNO) and (math_errhandling & MATH_ERREXCEPT) are independent of each other, but at least one of them must be non-zero. RATIONALE
None. FUTURE DIRECTIONS
None. SEE ALSO
