imaxdiv() — Quotient and remainder for intmax_t

Standards

Format

#define _ISOC99_SOURCE
#include <inttypes.h>

imaxdiv_t imaxdiv(intmax_t numer, intmax_t denom);

General description

The imaxdiv() function computes numer / denom and numer % denom in a single operation. The imaxdiv function is similar to lldiv() and ldiv(). The only difference being that the return value is of type imaxdiv_t and those being passed in are of type intmax_t.

Returned value

imaxdiv() returns a structure of type imaxdiv_t comprising both the quotient and the remainder. If either part of the result cannot be represented, the behavior is undefined. if the denominator is zero, a divide by zero exception is raised.

Example

#define _ISOC99_SOURCE
#include <inttypes.h>      
#include <stdio.h>                                  
                                                        
int main(void)                                            
{                                                         
 intmax_t num = 45;
 intmax_t den = 7;                           
 imaxdiv_t res;                                           
       printf("Original numerator: %jd and denominator: %jd "
            ,num,den);                   
       res = imaxdiv(num,den);              
       printf("Quotient: %jd  Remainder: %jd\n"         
             , res.quot,res.rem);                      
}                                                        

Output

Original numerator: 45 and denominator: -7 Quotient: -6  Remainder: 3
