truncatingRemainder(dividingBy:)

Returns the remainder of this value divided by the given value using truncating division.

Declaration

func truncatingRemainder(dividingBy other: Self) -> Self

Parameters

  • other:

    The value to use when dividing this value.

Return Value

The remainder of this value divided by other using truncating division.

Discussion

Performing truncating division with floating-point values results in a truncated integer quotient and a remainder. For values x and y and their truncated integer quotient q, the remainder r satisfies x == y * q + r.

The following example calculates the truncating remainder of dividing 8.625 by 0.75:

let x = 8.625
print(x / 0.75)
// Prints "11.5"

let q = (x / 0.75).rounded(.towardZero)
// q == 11.0
let r = x.truncatingRemainder(dividingBy: 0.75)
// r == 0.375

let x1 = 0.75 * q + r
// x1 == 8.625

If this value and other are both finite numbers, the truncating remainder has the same sign as this value and is strictly smaller in magnitude than other. The truncatingRemainder(dividingBy:) method is always exact.
