imaxdiv Function

Compute division and remainder in one operation.

Include

<inttypes.h>

Prototype

imaxdiv_t imaxdiv(intmax_t numer, intmax_t denom);

Argument

numer

The numerator argument

denom

The denominator argument

Return Value

The imaxdiv function computes the division, numer / denom, and remainder, numer % denom, of the arguments and returns the results in an imaxdiv_t structure.

Remarks

If either part of the result cannot be represented, the behavior is undefined.

Example

#include <inttypes.h>
#include <stdio.h>

int main(void)
{
  intmax_t numer, denom;
  imaxdiv_t result;

  numer = 400;
  denom = 3;
  result = imaxdiv(numer, denom);
  printf("The remainder of %" PRIdMAX " divided by %" PRIdMAX " is %" PRIdMAX "\n", numer, denom, result.rem);
}

Example Output

The remainder of 400 divided by 3 is 1
