SYNOPSIS
#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
Thefmod
()
function computes the floating-point remainder of x/
y.
RETURN VALUES
The fmod
(),
fmodf
(), and fmodl
()
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
y is zero, whether a domain error occurs or the
fmod
() function returns zero is
implementation-defined.

STANDARDS
The fmod
() function conforms to
ANSI X3.159-1989
(“ANSI C89”).
