| 16 | +The **`Math.IEEERemainder()`** [method](https://www.codecademy.com/resources/docs/c-sharp/methods) in C# returns the IEEE remainder resulting from the division of a specified number by another specified number. This method differs from the standard remainder operator (`%`) as it uses rounding rather than floor division. |
| 17 | + |
| 18 | +## Syntax |
| 19 | + |
| 20 | +```pseudo |
| 21 | +Math.IEEERemainder(double x, double y) |
| 22 | +``` |
| 23 | + |
| 24 | +**Parameters:** |
| 25 | + |
| 26 | +- `x` (double): The dividend. |
| 27 | +- `y` (double): The divisor. |
| 28 | + |
| 29 | +**Return value:** |
| 30 | + |
| 31 | +The method will return a value of [type](https://www.codecademy.com/resources/docs/c-sharp/data-types) `double` calculated using the formula `x - (y * Q)`, where `Q` is the quotient of `x / y` rounded to the nearest integer (using banker's rounding for ties). |
| 32 | + |
| 33 | +Special cases: |
| 34 | + |
| 35 | +- If the result is zero, `+0` is returned if `x` is positive, or `-0` if `x` is negative. |
| 36 | +- If `y` is zero, the method will return `NaN`. |
| 37 | +- If `x` is `NaN`, the method will return `NaN`. |
| 38 | +- If `y` is `NaN`, the method will return `NaN`. |

| 40 | +## Example |
| 41 | + |
| 42 | +In this example, different numeric values are passed to `Math.IEEERemainder()` to demonstrate how it differs from the standard remainder operator: |
| 43 | + |
| 44 | +```cs |
| 45 | +using System; |
| 46 | + |
| 47 | +namespace MyIEEERemainder { |
| 48 | + public class Example { |
| 49 | + public static void Main(string[] args) { |
| 50 | + double a = Math.IEEERemainder(17, 4); |
| 51 | + double b = Math.IEEERemainder(11, 3); |
| 52 | + double c = Math.IEEERemainder(27.7, 4.1); |
| 53 | + double d = Math.IEEERemainder(-16, 5); |
| 54 | + |
| 55 | + Console.WriteLine(a); |
| 56 | + Console.WriteLine(b); |
| 57 | + Console.WriteLine(c); |
| 58 | + Console.WriteLine(d); |
| 59 | + } |
| 60 | + } |
| 61 | +} |
| 62 | +``` |
| 63 | + |
| 64 | +This example results in the following output: |
| 65 | + |
| 66 | +```shell |
| 67 | +1 |
| 68 | +-1 |
| 69 | +-0.6999999999999993 |
| 70 | +-1 |
| 71 | +``` |
| 72 | + |
| 73 | +## Codebyte Example |
| 74 | + |
| 75 | +In this example, `Math.IEEERemainder()` is used to calculate the IEEE remainder and compare it with the standard remainder operator: |
| 76 | + |
| 77 | +```codebyte/csharp |
| 78 | +using System; |
| 79 | +
|
| 80 | +public class Example { |
| 81 | + public static void Main() { |
| 82 | + double x = 17; |
| 83 | + double y = 5; |
| 84 | +
|
| 85 | + double ieeeRemainder = Math.IEEERemainder(x, y); |
| 86 | + double standardRemainder = x % y; |
| 87 | +
|
| 88 | + Console.WriteLine("IEEE Remainder: " + ieeeRemainder); |
| 89 | + Console.WriteLine("Standard Remainder: " + standardRemainder); |
| 90 | + } |
| 91 | +} |
| 92 | +``` |
