Division of 1 by 10 and saving it in a float variable gives me 0.000000, whereas I want it to be 0.1. How can it nbe possible

Question

I tried using fmod command but it gives me answer as 1.

fmod(1,10). this gives me 1.

I want an answer 0.1 when 1 is divided by 10.

You need to start looking up what things mean, rather than throwing random syntax at your computer and crossing your fingers. — Kerrek SB, Aug 23 '16 at 11:50
And once you get it working but you do not get exactly `0.1` see: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/588004/is-floating-point-math-broken — NathanOliver, Aug 23 '16 at 11:51
You might want to read e.g. [this `fmod` reference](http://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/numeric/math/fmod) to see what the function *really* does. — Some programmer dude, Aug 23 '16 at 11:54

using fmod might be wrong. then how can I get 0.1 instead of 0.000000 — user6038334, Aug 23 '16 at 11:58

1

It is not a division actually

float fmod (float numer, float denom); Returns the floating-point remainder of numer/denom.

In your case remainder is 1.
