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]]).
EXAMPLE
> c = config("mode", "frac")
> print frac(3), frac(22/7), frac(27/7), frac(-3.125), frac(2.15 - 3.25i)
0 1/7 6/7 -1/8 3/20-1i/4
LIMITS
none
