numpy.fmod¶
- numpy.fmod(x1, x2[, out])¶
Return the remainder of division.
This is the NumPy implementation of the C modulo operator %.
Parameters: x1 : array_like
Dividend.
x2 : array_like
Divisor.
Returns: y : array_like
The remainder of the division of x1 by x2.

- mod
- Modulo operation where the quotient is floor(x1,x2).
Notes
The result of the modulo operation for negative dividend and divisors is bound by conventions. In fmod, the sign of the remainder is the sign of the dividend, and the sign of the divisor has no influence on the results.
Examples
>>> np.fmod([-3, -2, -1, 1, 2, 3], 2) array([-1, 0, -1, 1, 0, 1])
>>> np.mod([-3, -2, -1, 1, 2, 3], 2) array([1, 0, 1, 1, 0, 1])
