HP C/iX Library Function Descriptions
div
div
Computes the quotient and remainder of two integers.
Syntax
#include <stdlib.h>
div_t div (int numer , int denom );
Parameters
numer The numerator.
denom The denominator.
Return Values
Returns a structure of type div_t, comprising the quotient and the remainder. The
structure contains the following:
int quot; /* quotient */
int rem; /* remainder */
Description
The div function computes and returns the quotient and the remainder of the division of
numer by denom .
If the division is inexact, the sign of the resulting quotient and the algebraic quotient are
the same, and the magnitude of the resulting quotients is the largest integer less than the
magnitude of the algebraic quotient.
If the result cannot be represented, the behavior is undefined; otherwise,
quot × denom +
rem equals numer .
