REMAINDER(3) Linux Programmer's Manual REMAINDER(3)

NAME

     drem,  dremf, dreml, remainder, remainderf, remainderl - floating-point
     remainder function

SYNOPSIS

     #include <math.h>
     /* The C99 versions */
     double remainder(double x, double y);
     float remainderf(float x, float y);
     long double remainderl(long double x, long double y);
     /* Obsolete synonyms */
     double drem(double x, double y);
     float dremf(float x, float y);
     long double dreml(long double x, long double y);
     Link with -lm.

DESCRIPTION

     These functions compute the remainder of dividing x by y.   The  return
     value  is  x-n*y,  where  n  is the value x / y, rounded to the nearest
     integer.  If the absolute value of x-n*y is 0.5,  n  is  chosen  to  be
     even.
     These  functions  are  unaffected  by  the  current  rounding mode (see
     fenv(3)).
     The drem() function does precisely the same thing.

RETURN VALUE

     On success, these functions return the floating-point remainder, x-n*y.
     If the return value is 0, it has the sign of x.
     If x or y is a NaN, a NaN is returned.
     If  x  is an infinity, and y is not a NaN, a domain error occurs, and a
     NaN is returned.
     If y is zero, and x is not a NaN, a domain error occurs, and a  NaN  is
     returned.

ERRORS

     See  math_error(7) for information on how to determine whether an error
     has occurred when calling these functions.
     The following errors can occur:
     Domain error: x is an infinity and y is not a NaN
            errno is set to EDOM (but see BUGS).  An invalid  floating-point
            exception (FE_INVALID) is raised.
            These functions do not set errno for this case.
     Domain error: y is zero
            errno  is  set  to  EDOM.   An  invalid floating-point exception
            (FE_INVALID) is raised.

CONFORMING TO

     The functions remainder(), remainderf(), and remainderl() are specified
     in C99, POSIX.1-2001, and POSIX.1-2008.
     The function drem() is from 4.3BSD.  The float and long double variants
     dremf() and dreml() exist on some systems, such as  Tru64  and  glibc2.
     Avoid the use of these functions in favor of remainder() etc.

BUGS

     Before glibc 2.15, the call
         remainder(nan(""), 0);
     returned  a NaN, as expected, but wrongly caused a domain error.  Since
     glibc 2.15, a silent NaN (i.e., no domain error) is returned.
     Before glibc 2.15, errno was not set to EDOM for the domain error  that
     occurs when x is an infinity and y is not a NaN.  errno was not set

EXAMPLE

     The call "remainder(29.0, 3.0)" returns -1.
