IEEEremainder()

Example

Determine the IEEE 754 remainder for various pairs of numbers.

System.out.println(Math.IEEEremainder(11, 3));
System.out.println(Math.IEEEremainder(16, 4));
System.out.println(Math.IEEEremainder(31, 2.5));

Definition and Usage

The IEEEremainder() method calculates the remainder operation for two numbers according to the IEEE 754 standard.

The outcome of this method for two numbers a and b is equivalent to a – (b * Math.rint(a/b)).

Syntax

public static double IEEEremainder(double dividend, double divisor)
