C <inttypes.h> - imaxdiv() Function

The C <inttypes.h> imaxdiv() function computes both the quotient and the remainder of the division of the integral numerator numer by the integral denominator denom.

Syntax

imaxdiv_t div (intmax_t numer, intmax_t denom);

Parameters

`numer`	Specify an integral value for numerator.
`denom`	Specify an integral value for denominator.

Return Value

Returns both the remainder and the quotient can be represented as objects of type imaxdiv_t defined as follows:

struct imaxdiv_t { intmax_t quot; intmax_t rem; };

or 

struct imaxdiv_t { intmax_t rem; intmax_t quot; };

Note: This function is equivalent to div() function for intmax_t.

Example:

The example below shows the usage of <inttypes.h> imaxdiv() function.

#include <stdio.h>
#include <inttypes.h>
 
int main (){
  imaxdiv_t result = imaxdiv(50, 17);

  printf("imaxdiv_t(50, 17) gives quotient = %" PRIdMAX " and remainder = %" PRIdMAX "\n",
         result.quot, result.rem);
  
  return 0;
}

The output of the above code will be:

imaxdiv(50, 17) gives quotient = 2 and remainder = 16
