DOC: Documentation on fmod() Is Incorrect

• The C Run-Time (CRT), included with:
  • Microsoft Visual C++ 32-bit Edition, version 1.0

SUMMARY

The fmod(x,y) function returns the floating point remainder of x/y, where x and y are floating point numbers. If y is 0.0, fmod should return a NAN(not a number) which it does, but the documentation on fmode says incorrectly that it should return 0.

The document has been corrected in Visual C++ 2.0.

MORE INFORMATION

Sample Code

#include <stdio.h>
#include <math.h>

void main(void)
{
 double x=10.0, y=0.0, z;

 z=fmod(x,y);
 printf("The remainder of %.2f/%.2f is %f\n", x, y, z);
} 

Output

Additional query words: 1.00 2.00 double remainder
