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

Nice explanation given by premkumar now its very clear.

Hai friends, mod() is used for the integer division to get remainder. Where as fmod() is used to get floating point remainder. We find both mod() and fmod()in math.h header file check it once.

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

Is it possible take this in to EXE file to run other than c compiler please tell me.

@Nayarana it is not possible.

What is the difference between

rem = modf(3.14, 2.1);
rem = fmod(3.14, 2.1);

?

Its very nice.

I think, an % sign also can done it !
