math.remainder()
math.remainder() is a Python function in the Math Module category. Returns the IEEE 754-style remainder of x/y. The syntax is math.remainder(x, y). Returns: Float. A typical example: math.remainder(10, 3) # 1.0
math.remainder(9, 3) # 0.0. A close sibling is math.ceil(), which returns the smallest integer greater than or equal to x. A close sibling is math.floor(), which returns the largest integer less than or equal to x. A close sibling is math.trunc(), which truncates the fractional part, returning the integer part. A close sibling is math.fabs(), which returns the absolute value of x as a float. More about this category: Mathematical functions — sin, cos, sqrt, floor, ceil, and constants.
