C++ <cinttypes> - imaxdiv() Function

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

Syntax

C++11

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 <cinttypes> imaxdiv() function.

#include <iostream>
#include <cinttypes>
using namespace std;
 
int main (){
  imaxdiv_t result = imaxdiv(50, 17);

  cout<<"imaxdiv(50, 17) gives quotient = "<<
      result.quot<<" and remainder = "<< 
      result.rem<<"\n";
  
  return 0;
}

The output of the above code will be:

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