fmod

(PHP 4 >= 4.2.0, PHP 5, PHP 7)

fmodReturns the floating point remainder (modulo) of the division of the arguments


Description

fmod ( float $x , float $y ) : float

Returns the floating point remainder of dividing the dividend (x) by the divisor (y). The remainder (r) is defined as: x = i * y + r, for some integer i. If y is non-zero, r has the same sign as x and a magnitude less than the magnitude of y.


Parameters

x
The dividend
y
The divisor


Return Values

The floating point remainder of x/y


Examples

Example #1 Using fmod()

<?php$x = 5.7;$y = 1.3;$r = fmod($x, $y);// $r equals 0.5, because 4 * 1.3 + 0.5 = 5.7?>
