The fmod method of the math module

The fmod method of the math module returns the remainder of a floating-point number. In the first parameter of the method, we specify the number to be divided (the dividend), in the second parameter - the number by which we divide the first (the divisor).

Syntax

import math math.fmod(dividend, divisor)

Example

Let's take the remainder from dividing the number 10.8 by 3:

import math print(math.fmod(10.8, 3))

Result of code execution:

1.8000000000000007

Example

Now let's apply the fmod method to the number -4.56:

import math print(math.fmod(-4))

Result of code execution:

-1.5599999999999996
