Remainder Function

The Remainder function is used for finding the remainder for a division .

This remainder value can take the values float , double , long double and returns the integer values closest to the numerator (whether -ve or +ve).

Positive values are got after the normal division while negative values (for remainder) are got after dividing once more.

Syntax:

float remainderf(float a, float b);

double remainder(double a, double b);

long double remainderl(long double a, long double b);

Example:

#include <math.h>
#include <stdio.h>

  int main()
  {  
	int a=7,b=3;
    double x = 3.0, y = 2.0;

    printf("%f\n", remainder (a, b));
    printf("%f\n", remainder (x, y));

    return 0;

  }
