modf 3M "12 Jul 2006" "SunOS 5.11" "Mathematical Library Functions"
NAME
modf, modff, modfl - decompose floating-point number
SYNOPSIS

c99 [ flag... ] file... -lm [ library... ]
#include <math.h>

double modf(double x, double *iptr);

float modff(float x, float *iptr);

long double modfl(long double x, long double *iptr);
DESCRIPTION

These functions break the argument x into integral and fractional parts, each of which has the same sign as the argument. It stores the integral part as a double for the modf() function, a float for the modff() function, or a long double for themodfl() function in the object pointed to by iptr.

RETURN VALUES

Upon successful completion, these functions return the signed fractional part of x.

If x is NaN, a NaN is returned and *iptr is set to NaN.

If x is \(+-Inf, \(+-0 is returned and *iptr is set to \(+-Inf.

ERRORS

No errors are defined.

USAGE

These functions compute the function result and *iptr such that:

a = modf(x, &iptr) ;
x == a+*iptr ;
