Python math - fmod() Function
The Python math.fmod() function is used to compute the remainder operation (modulo) on two arguments.
Syntax
math.fmod(x, y)
Parameters
x |
Required. Specify the dividend. |
y |
Required. Specify the divisor. |
Return Value
Returns the remainder (modulo) when x is divided by y.
Exceptions
- Throws ValueError, if both x and y are 0.
- Throws ValueError, if y is 0.
- Throws TypeError, if x or y is not a number (NaN).
Example:
In the example below, fmod() function is used to calculate the modulo of given arguments.
import math print(math.fmod(10, 4)) print(math.fmod(14, 4)) print(math.fmod(60.8, 18.1))
The output of the above code will be:
2.0 2.0 6.499999999999993
