numpy.fmod

numpy.fmod(x1, x2[, out]) = <ufunc 'fmod'>

Return the element-wise remainder of division.

This is the NumPy implementation of the C library function fmod, the remainder has the same sign as the dividend x1. It is equivalent to the Matlab(TM) rem function and should not be confused with the Python modulus operator x1 % x2.

Parameters:

x1 : array_like

Dividend.

x2 : array_like

Divisor.

Returns:

y : array_like

The remainder of the division of x1 by x2.

Equivalent to the Python % operator.

Notes

The result of the modulo operation for negative dividend and divisors is bound by conventions. For fmod, the sign of result is the sign of the dividend, while for remainder the sign of the result is the sign of the divisor. The fmod function is equivalent to the Matlab(TM) rem function.

Examples

>>> np.fmod([-3, -2, -1, 1, 2, 3], 2)
array([-1,  0, -1,  1,  0,  1])
>>> np.remainder([-3, -2, -1, 1, 2, 3], 2)
array([1, 0, 1, 1, 0, 1])

>>> np.fmod([5, 3], [2, 2.])
array([ 1.,  1.])
>>> a = np.arange(-3, 3).reshape(3, 2)
>>> a
array([[-3, -2],
       [-1,  0],
       [ 1,  2]])
>>> np.fmod(a, [2,2])
array([[-1,  0],
       [-1,  0],
       [ 1,  0]])
