modulus operator with double operands?

Can the modulus operator work on double (data type) operands?
If not, can anyone refer me to some website that gives c code which does the modulus operation on double operands?
You may also suggest at least a pseudocode on doing this.

This isn't really a place to 'make demands'. Try it and see if it works yourself.

Okay, since you asked,

Code:

---

A MODULUS B

---

I don't think that's a demand.
I'm asking if anyone knows whether % works with double operands 'coz it's causing compile-time errors in my program.
Also, I wouldn't ask that question if I haven't tried it.
If you can't answer my question, then don't.
You don't have to post stupid pseudocodes.

So let me get this straight . . .

You've put the code into a compiler and it DOESN'T work. I guess I'm unsure where the confusion is.

Compilation of the program failed.
The compiler indicated that modulus operation is not allowed with int and double as operands.

This code will work:

Code:

---

int main(void)
{
        int a = 55;
        int b = 11;
        int c;
       
        c = a % b;
       
        printf("Answer is %d.\n", (int)c);
        fflush(stdout);
       
        return 0;
}

---

This code will not:

Code:

---

int main(void)
{
        double a = 55;
        double b = 11;
        double c;
       
        c = a % b;
       
        printf("Answer is %d.\n", (int) c);
        fflush(stdout);
       
        return 0;
}

---

Since it throws an error on c = a % b, I think you have your answer. I would not doubt, however, that there is a standard library function to do this. Google search for a modulus function that takes in doubles, or write your own.

This is correct, you can not use % on non-integers.

There is a library function called fmod(): http://www.hmug.org/man/3/fmod.php

fmod() worked!
Thanks matsp!!!
