Why do we need IEEE 754 remainder?
问题 I just read this topic (especially the last comments). Then I was wondering, why we actually need this was of giving the remainder. But it seems, that not many people "on google" were interested in that before... 回答1: If you're looking for reasons why you would want it, one is for what is known as "range reduction" Let's say you want sind function for computing the sine of an argument in degrees. A naive way to do this would be sind(x) = sin(x*pi/180) However pi here is not the true
