//
|

// Often C functions are used where no equivalent Zig function exists
|
||||
// yet. 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 the own programs.
|
||||
// In addition immediately 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 angel. Let's go.
|
||||
|
||||
const std = @import("std");
|
||||
|
||||
const c = @cImport({
|
||||
// What do wee need here?
|
||||
???

});

pub fn main() !void {

||||
const angel = 765.2;
|
||||
const circle = 360;
|
||||
|
||||
// Here we call the C function 'fmod' to get our normalized angel.
|
||||
const result = c.fmod(angel, circle);
|
||||
|
||||
std.debug.print("The normalized angle of {d: >3.1} degrees is {d: >3.1} degrees.\n", .{ angel, result });
