NAME
fmod, fmodf, fmodl - floating-point remainder value function
SYNOPSIS
c99 [ 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.
