NAME frac - return the fractional part of a number or of numbers in a value SYNOPSIS frac(x) TYPES If x is an object of type xx, frac(x) requires xx_frac to have been defined; other conditions on x and the value returned depend on the definition of xx_frac. For other x: x number (real or complex), matrix return number or matrix DESCRIPTION If x is an integer, frac(x) returns zero. For other real values of x, frac(x) returns the real number f for which x = i + f, where i is an integer, sgn(f) = sgn(x), and abs(f) < 1. If x is complex, frac(x) returns frac(re(x)) + frac(im(x))*1i. If x is a matrix, frac(x) returns the matrix m with the same structure as x in which m[[i]] = frac(x[[i]]).
