C div() function

C div() function - Calculate quotient and remainder

The div() function is used to calculate the quotient and remainder of the division of numerator by denominator.

Syntax div() function

div_t div(int numer, int denom)

Parameters div() function

Return value from div() function

• A structure of type div_t, containing both the quotient int quot and the remainder integer rem.
• If the return value cannot be represented, its value is undefined.
• If denominator is 0, an exception will be raised.

Example: div() function

The following example shows the usage of div() function.

#include <stdlib.h>
#include <stdio.h>
 
int main(void)
{
   int nums[4] = {6,56,-34,-45};
   int den[4] = {5,7,3,-7};
   div_t ans;   /* div_t is a struct type contain two ints:
                'quot' stores quotient; 'rem' stores remainder*/
   short i,j;
 
   printf("Results of division:\n");
   for (i = 0; i < 4; i++)
      for (j = 0; j < 4; j++)
      {
         ans = div(nums[i],den[j]);
         printf("Dividend: %6d  Divisor: %6d", nums[i], den[j]);
         printf("  Quotient: %6d  Remainder: %6d\n", ans.quot, ans.rem);
      }
} 

Output:
