Which of the following statements should be used to obtain a remainder after dividing 3.14 by 2.1 ?
rem = 3.14 % 2.1;
rem = modf(3.14, 2.1);
rem = fmod(3.14, 2.1);
Remainder cannot be obtain in floating point division.
Answer: Option
Explanation:

fmod(x,y) - Calculates x modulo y, the remainder of x/y.
This function is the same as the modulus operator. But fmod() performs floating point divisions.

Example:


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

int main ()
{
  printf ("fmod of 3.14/2.1 is %lf\n", fmod (3.14,2.1) );
  return 0;
}

Output:
fmod of 3.14/2.1 is 1.040000

@All.

The % modulus operator gives a remainder of only int and not applicable for float.

Option D is right because the floating point is not applicable for %.

@All.

We can't apply % sign on float.
