The ldiv() can be thought as long int version of div().
It is defined in <cstdlib> header file.
Mathematically,
quot * y + rem = x
ldiv() prototype [As of C++ 11 standard]
ldiv_t ldiv(long int x, long int y); ldiv_t ldiv(long x, long y);
The ldiv() function takes a two arguments x and y, and returns the integral quotient and remainder of the division of x by y.
The quotient quot is the result of the expression x/y. The remainder rem is the result of the expression x%y.
ldiv() Parameters
- x: Represents the numerator.
- y: Represents the denominator.
ldiv() Return value
The ldiv() function returns a structure of type ldiv_t which consists of two members: quot and rem. It is defined as follows:
struct ldiv_t {
long quot;
long rem;
};
Example: How ldiv() function works in C++?
#include <iostream>
#include <cstdlib>
using namespace std;
int main()
{
long nume = 999810291L;
long deno = 120L;
ldiv_t result = ldiv(nume, deno);
cout << "Quotient of " << nume << "/" << deno << " = " << result.quot << endl;
cout << "Remainder of " << nume << "/" << deno << " = " << result.rem << endl;
return 0;
}
When you run the program, the output will be:
Quotient of 999810291/120 = 8331752 Remainder of 999810291/120 = 51
