NAME

6       ldiv, lldiv - compute quotient and remainder of a long division
7

SYNOPSIS

9       #include <stdlib.h>
10
11       ldiv_t ldiv(long numer, long denom);
12       lldiv_t lldiv(long long numer, long long denom);

DESCRIPTION

16       These  functions  shall compute the quotient and remainder of the divi‐
17       sion of the numerator numer by the denominator denom. If  the  division
18       is  inexact, the resulting quotient is the long integer (for the ldiv()
19       function) or long long integer (for the  lldiv()  function)  of  lesser
20       magnitude  that is the nearest to the algebraic quotient. If the result
21       cannot  be  represented,  the   behavior   is   undefined;   otherwise,
22       quot * denom+rem shall equal numer.
23

RETURN VALUE

25       The ldiv() function shall return a structure of type ldiv_t, comprising
26       both the quotient and the remainder. The structure  shall  include  the
27       following members, in any order:
28
29
30              long   quot;    /* Quotient */
31              long   rem;     /* Remainder */
32
33       The lldiv() function shall return a structure of type lldiv_t, compris‐
34       ing both the quotient and the remainder. The  structure  shall  include
35       the following members, in any order:
36
37
38              long long   quot;    /* Quotient */
39              long long   rem;     /* Remainder */
