Function std.math.remainder

Calculate the remainder x REM y, following IEC 60559.

real remainder (
  real x,
  real y
) nothrow @nogc @trusted;

REM is the value of x - y * n, where n is the integer nearest the exact value of x / y. If |n - x / y| == 0.5, n is even. If the result is zero, it has the same sign as x. Otherwise, the sign of the result is the sign of x / y. Precision mode has no effect on the remainder functions.

remquo returns n in the parameter n.

Special Values
x y remainder(x, y) n invalid?
±0.0 not 0.0 ±0.0 0.0 no
±∞ anything -NAN ? yes
anything ±0.0 -NAN ? yes
!= ±∞ ±∞ x ? no

remquo and remainder not supported on Windows.

Example

version(Posix)
{
    assert(remainder(5.1, 3.0).feqrel(-0.9) > 16);
    assert(remainder(-5.1, 3.0).feqrel(0.9) > 16);
    writeln(remainder(0.0, 3.0)); // 0.0

    assert(remainder(1.0, 0.0) is -real.nan);
    assert(remainder(-1.0, 0.0) is -real.nan);
}

Example

version(Posix)
{
    int n;

    assert(remquo(5.1, 3.0, n).feqrel(-0.9) > 16 && n == 2);
    assert(remquo(-5.1, 3.0, n).feqrel(0.9) > 16 && n == -2);
    assert(remquo(0.0, 3.0, n) == 0.0 && n == 0);
}
