HP C/iX Library Function Descriptions
ldiv
ldiv
Computes the quotient and remainder of two long integers.
Syntax
#include <stdlib.h>
ldiv_t ldiv (long int numer , long int denom );
Parameters
numer The numerator.
denom The denominator.
Return Values
Returns a structure of type ldiv_t comprising the quotient and the remainder. The
structure contains the following:
long int quot; /* quotient */
long int rem; /* remainder */
Description
The ldiv 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 quotient is the largest long int less than the
magnitude of the algebraic quotient.
If the result cannot be represented, the behavior is undefined; otherwise,
quot * denom +
rem equals numer .
