Returns the floating-point remainder.
#include <math.h> double remainder (x, y) double x; double y; float remainderf (x, y) float x; float y; long double remainderl (x, y) long double x; long double y ;
The remainder, remainderf, and remainderl subroutines return the floating-point remainder r=x - ny when y is nonzero. The value n is the integral value nearest the exact value x/y. When | n x/y |=½ , the value n is chosen to be even.
| x | Specifies the value of the numerator. |
| y | Specifies the value of the denominator. |
Upon successful completion, the remainder, remainderf, and remainderl subroutines return the floating-point remainder r=x - ny when y is nonzero.
If x or y is NaN, a NaN is returned.
If x is infinite or y is 0 and the other is non-NaN, a domain error occurs, and a NaN is returned.
