Declaration

div_t div(int iNumerator, int iDenominator);

Description

This function takes two ints or longs and performs integer division to get a quotient and remainder. The quotient and remainder are returned in the struct type div_t or ldiv_t, depending an whether the call is made with ints or longs. The calculation fits relationship N = Q*D + R, where N, D, Q and R are the numerator, denominator, quotient and remainder, respectively.

Overloaded Functions

ldiv_t div(long, long);

Related Functions

ldiv_t ldiv(long, long);

* Note: Since C does not allow function overloading, these other versions of this function exist.

Example

#include <iostream>
#include <cstdlib>

int main() {
    using namespace std;

    // Divison example using ints
    int iNumerator1 = 17;
    int iDenominator1   = 3;
    div_t qDivision1 = div(iNumerator1, iDenominator1);
    cout << iNumerator1 << " = " << qDivision1.quot << "*"
         << iDenominator1 << " + " << qDivision1.rem << endl;

    return 0;
}
