Re: [Haskell-cafe] C's fmod in Haskell

      Odd place it is, indeed!

QUOTE: "Data.Fixed... DESCRIPTION... This module defines a Fixed 
file:///D:/app/ghc-6.6.1/doc/html/libraries/base/Fixed.html type for 
fixed-precision arithmetic...*This module also contains generalisations 
of div, mod, and divmod to work with any Real instance.*"

Thanks a lot. I wouldn't have found that myself ;-)

Maybe this is a stupid question, but I don't find something similar 
in Haskell.
I find mod and rem, which work on integers. But I'm looking for a 
function similar to C's fmod.
Of course I can write it myself, but I guess it must already exist 
under a different name?
There's one in Data.Fixed called mod'
Yes, that is an odd place for it :)
