How to use % operator for float values in c

Question

When I use % operator on float values I get error stating that \"invalid operands to binary % (have ‘float’ and ‘double’)\".I want to enter the integers value only but the n

Answer 1

When I haven't had easy access to fmod or other libraries (for example, doing a quick Arduino sketch), I find that the following works well enough:

float someValue = 0.0;

// later...

// Since someValue = (someValue + 1) % 256 won't work for floats...
someValue += 1.0; // (or whatever increment you want to use)
while (someValue >= 256.0){
    someValue -= 256.0;
}
