### 1.25 `fmod`, `fmodf`—floating-point remainder (modulo)

Synopsis

         #include <math.h>
         double fmod(double x, double y);
         float fmodf(float x, float y);

Description
The `fmod` and `fmodf` functions compute the floating-point remainder of x/y (x modulo y).

Returns
The `fmod` function returns the value x-i*y, for the largest integer i such that, if y is nonzero, the result has the same sign as x and magnitude less than the magnitude of y.

`fmod(`x`,0)` returns NaN, and sets `errno` to `EDOM`.

You can modify error treatment for these functions using `matherr`.

Portability
`fmod` is ANSI C. `fmodf` is an extension.
