// Often, C functions are used where no equivalent Zig function exists

// yet. Since the integration of a C function is very simple, as already

// Since the integration of a C function is very simple, as already
|
||||
// seen in the last exercise, it naturally offers itself to use the
|
||||
// very large variety of C functions for our own programs.
|
||||
// As an example:
|
||||
//
|
||||
// Let's say we have a given angle of 765.2 degrees. If we want to
|
||||
// normalize that, it means that we have to subtract X * 360 degrees
|
||||
// to get the correct angle. How could we do that? A good method is
|
||||
// to use the modulo function. But if we write "765.2 % 360", it won't
|
||||
// work, because the standard modulo function works only with integer
|
||||
// values. In the C library "math", there is a function called "fmod";
|
||||
// the "f" stands for floating and means that we can solve modulo for
|
||||
// real numbers. With this function, it should be possible to normalize
|
||||
// our angle. Let's go.
|
||||
// to get the correct angle.

// How could we do that? A good method is to use the modulo function.
|
||||
// But if we write "765.2 % 360", it only works with float values
|
||||
// that are known at compile time.
|
||||
// In Zig, we would use %mod(a, b) instead.
|
||||
//
|
||||
// Let us now assume that we cannot do this in Zig, but only with
|
||||
// a C function from the standard library. In the library "math",
|
||||
// there is a function called "fmod"; the "f" stands for floating
|
||||
// and means that we can solve modulo for real numbers. With this
|
||||
