      F_TYPE drem (F_TYPE x, F_TYPE y)

1  –  Description

    drem() returns the remainder r = x-n*y, where n = rint(x/y).
    Additionally, if |n-x/y|=1/2, then n is even. The remainder is
    computed exactly, and |r| is less than or equal to |y|/2. The
    drem() and remainder()  functions are aliases of each other.
