Computes both the quotient and the remainder of the division of the numerator x by the denominator y.
|
Computes quotient and remainder simultaneously. The quotient is the algebraic quotient with any fractional part discarded (truncated towards zero). The remainder is such that quot * y + rem == x. |
(until C99) |
|
Computes the quotient (the result of the expression x / y) and remainder (the result of the expression x % y) simultaneously. |
(since C99) |
Parameters
| x, y | - | integer values |
Return value
If both the remainder and the quotient can be represented as objects of the corresponding type (int, long, long long, intmax_t, respectively), returns both as an object of type div_t, ldiv_t, lldiv_t, imaxdiv_t defined as follows:
div_t
struct div_t { int quot; int rem; };
or
struct div_t { int rem; int quot; };
ldiv_t
struct ldiv_t { long quot; long rem; };
or
struct ldiv_t { long rem; long quot; };
lldiv_t
struct lldiv_t { long long quot; long long rem; };
or
struct lldiv_t { long long rem; long long quot; };
imaxdiv_t
or
If either the remainder or the quotient cannot be represented, the behavior is undefined.
Notes
Until C99, the rounding direction of the quotient and the sign of the remainder in the built-in division and remainder operators was implementation-defined if either of the operands was negative, but it was well-defined in div and ldiv.
On many platforms, a single CPU instruction obtains both the quotient and the remainder, and this function may leverage that, although compilers are generally able to merge nearby / and % where suitable.
Example
#include <assert.h> #include <stdio.h> #include <math.h> #include <stdlib.h> #include <limits.h> void reverse(char* first, char* last) { for (--last; first < last; ++first, --last) { char c = *last; *last = *first; *first = c; } } // demo only: does not check for buffer overflow char* itoa(int n, int base, char* buf) { assert(2 <= base && base <= 16); div_t dv = {.quot = n}; char* p = buf; do { dv = div(dv.quot, base); *p++ = "0123456789abcdef"[abs(dv.rem)]; } while(dv.quot); if (n < 0) *p++ = '-'; *p = '\0'; reverse(buf, p); return buf; } int main(void) { char buf[100]; printf("%s\n", itoa(0, 2, buf)); printf("%s\n", itoa(007, 3, buf)); printf("%s\n", itoa(12346, 10, buf)); printf("%s\n", itoa(-12346, 10, buf)); printf("%s\n", itoa(-42, 2, buf)); printf("%s\n", itoa(INT_MAX, 16, buf)); printf("%s\n", itoa(INT_MIN, 16, buf)); }
Possible output:
0 21 12346 -12346 -101010 7fffffff -80000000
