Splits a floating-point value into fractional and integer parts.
double modf(
double x,
double *intptr
);
float modf(
float x,
float *intptr
); // C++ only
long double modf(
long double x,
long double * intptr
); // C++ only
float modff(
float x,
float *intptr
);
Parameters
x
Floating-point value.intptr
Pointer to stored integer portion.
Return Value
This function returns the signed fractional portion of x. There is no error return.
Remarks
The modf function breaks down the floating-point value x into fractional and integer parts, each of which has the same sign as x. The signed fractional portion of x is returned. The integer portion is stored as a floating-point value at intptr.
modf has an implementation that uses Streaming SIMD Extensions 2 (SSE2). See _set_SSE2_enable for information and restrictions on using the SSE2 implementation.
C++ allows overloading, so you can call overloads of modf. In a C program, modf always takes two double values and returns a double value.

Example
// crt_modf.c
#include <math.h>
#include <stdio.h>
int main( void )
{
double x, y, n;
x = -14.87654321; /* Divide x into its fractional */
y = modf( x, &n ); /* and integer parts */
printf( "For %f, the fraction is %f and the integer is %.f\n",
x, y, n );
}
Output
For -14.876543, the fraction is -0.876543 and the integer is -14
