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

Yes. For int only we can use mod for float we should use fmod the answer should be c only for this problem.

Yes fmod is the correct ans as in for floating division.

It means % operator is use when we are doing integer division to get the remainder?

Which function is called global and local function? Can anybody help me?

Usually % (modules) operator not for floating point numbers, so in c fmod is inbuilt function that will use to get the reminder of the floating point number. Answer is C.

@Dinesh Kumar.

#include<stdio.h>
int main()
{
int a=1;
printf("%d %d %d",a,a++,++a);
return 0;
}
Output : 3 2 3.
But logically 3 2 2.

Can any explain how 3 2 3 comes?

Your logic is true,function data passing is from right to left. So first ++a execute then a++,then a.
But the current value of a will be substitute in pre-increment operator always.
So the output will be 3 2 3.

No @Keerthi.

The floating point remainder cannot be obtained by modulo operator.
