man div () - compute the quotient and remainder of an integer division
NAME
div - compute the quotient and remainder of an integer division
SYNOPSIS
#include <stdlib.h>
div_t div(int numer, int denom);
DESCRIPTION
The div() function shall compute the quotient and remainder of the division of the numerator numer by the denominator denom. If the division is inexact, the resulting quotient is the integer of lesser magnitude that is the nearest to the algebraic quotient. If the result cannot be represented, the behavior is undefined; otherwise, quot* denom+ rem shall equal numer.
RETURN VALUE
The div() function shall return a structure of type div_t, comprising both the quotient and the remainder. The structure includes the following members, in any order:
int quot; /* quotient */ int rem; /* remainder */
ERRORS
No errors are defined.
