NAME
       fmod, fmodf, fmodl - floating-point remainder value function

SYNOPSIS
       cc [ flag... ] file... -lm [ library... ]
       #include <math.h>

       double fmod(double x, double y);

       float fmodf(float x, float y);

       long double fmodl(long double x, long double y);

DESCRIPTION
       These functions return the floating-point remainder of the division of x by y.

RETURN VALUES
       These functions return the value x - i * y, for some integer i such that, if y is non-zero, the result has the same sign as x and magnitude
       less than the magnitude of y.

       If x or y is NaN, a NaN is returned.

       If y is 0, a domain error occurs and a NaN is returned.

       If x is infinite, a domain error occurs and a NaN is returned.

       If x is +-0 and y is not 0, +-0 is returned.

       If x is not infinite and y is +-Inf, x is returned.

ERRORS
       These functions will fail if:

       Domain Error    The x argument is infinite or y is 0.

		       If the integer expression (math_errhandling & MATH_ERREXCEPT) is non-zero, the invalid floating-point exception is raised.

USAGE
       An application wanting to check for exceptions should call feclearexcept(FE_ALL_EXCEPT) before  calling	these  functions.  On  return,	if
       fetestexcept(FE_INVALID	|  FE_DIVBYZERO  |  FE_OVERFLOW  |  FE_UNDERFLOW) is non-zero, an exception has been raised. An application should
       either examine the return value or check the floating point exception flags to detect exceptions.
