Which of the following statements should be used to obtain a remainder after dividing 3.14 by 2.1 ?
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

fmod() function with values of floating type is the only operator which can be used to obtain the remainder for floating numbers.

#include<stdio.h>
#include<conio.h>
void main()
{
float a,b,c;
c=a%b;
printf("%f",c);
}
#include<conio.h>
void main()
{
float a,b,c;
c=a%b;
printf("%f",c);
}

Yes Prem Kumar is right.

Your answer may be depends on the Statement i.e. both % operator as well as fmod() used for taking Reminder %op for integer and fmod() for float.

fmode() is the lib function, returns the reminder of floating point.

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()?
