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

That is right answer because the given expression is in the floating type formate so witought fmod() is use that not give right answer so fmod() is used.

Nice explanation. I agree with that answer.

Ya, swathi answer is correct.

Ya. Its nice ans we use % and mod () , fun for int, type but not for float hence fmode is right answer.

What is the difference between %, mod(), fmod()and modf()?

Kavita.C.Karjagar said:   1 decade ago
What is the function of fmod and were we can use fmod?

Prathamesh m. patkar said:   1 decade ago
Yes, because the given values are in floating type so we also want the ans in floating type therefore we use fmod().

Sivakumar said:   1 decade ago
I want to know clear difference between fmod() and modf().

Me too want to know about fmod&modf.
