### 1.41 `modf`, `modff`—split fractional and integer parts ¶

Synopsis

    #include <math.h>
    double modf(double val, double *ipart);
    float modff(float val, float *ipart);

Description
`modf` splits the double val apart into an integer part and a fractional part, returning the fractional part and storing the integer part in `*ipart`. No rounding whatsoever is done; the sum of the integer and fractional parts is guaranteed to be exactly equal to val. That is, if realpart = modf(val, &intpart); then ‘`realpart+intpart`’ is the same as val. `modff` is identical, save that it takes and returns `float` rather than `double` values.

Returns
The fractional part is returned. Each result has the same sign as the supplied argument val.

Portability
`modf` is ANSI C. `modff` is an extension.
