modf()                   General Function                  modf()




Separate integral part and fraction

double modf(real, ip) double real, *ip;

modf  is the  floating-point  modulus function.   It returns  the
fractional part of  its argument real, which is a  value f in the
range 0 <= f < 1.  It also stores the integral part in the double
location referenced  by ip.   These numbers satisfy  the equation
real = f + *ip.

***** Example *****

This example  prompts for a  number from the  keyboard, then uses
modf to calculate the number's fractional portion.


#include <stdio.h>

main()
{
        extern char *gets();
        extern double modf(), atof();
        double real, fp, ip;
        char string[64];



        for (;;) {
                printf("Enter number: ");
                if (gets(string) == 0)
                        break;



                real = atof(string);
                fp = modf(real, &ip);
                printf("%lf is the integral part of %lf\n",
                        ip, real);
                printf("%lf is the fractional part of %lf\n",
                        fp, real);
        }
}
