      F_TYPE fmod (F_TYPE x, F_TYPE y)

1  –  Description

    fmod() computes the floating-point remainder of x modulo y.
    It returns the remainder r = x-n*y, where n = trunc(x/y). The
    remainder is computed exactly.

    The result has the same sign as x and a magnitude less than the
    magnitude of y.
