Syntax

public static native double IEEEremainder( double f1**, double** f2 )

Parameters
  • f1
    the dividend.
  • f2
    the divisor.
Returns

the remainder when f1 is divided by f2.

Description

Computes the remainder operation on two arguments as prescribed by the IEEE 754 standard. The remainder value is mathematically equal to f1 - f2 × n, where n is the mathematical integer closest to the exact mathematical value of the quotient f1/f2, and if two mathematical integers are equally close to f1/f2, then n is the integer that is even. If the remainder is zero, its sign is the same as the sign of the first argument.
