    Returning the Residual

    Hi there,

    I would like to know whether C++ has an equivalent function to Fortran's intrinsic MOD(A, P), i.e. a function that returns the remainder of a division. I realise that such a function is easy to code, but wondered if such a function already exists.

    Thanks!

    The modulo operator (%) works on integral types. You can also find a function called fmod in the <cmath> header for use with floating-point types.
    My best code is written with the delete key.
