Writing a function for division

Question

Ben Davis 2012-3-6

Hi i am planning on writing a function based around division, and also include remainders. For example, 15/4= 3 remainder 3.

My code so far is:

function [q,r]=Divide(x,y)

q=x/y

q=floor(q) %so values are rounded down to allow remainder

r=x-(q*y) %my remainder value

end

q is the whole integer, and r is the remainder.

Also i want to be able to insert values for 'x' as a vector but act as an integer value.

All help would be great!

Thanks :)

function [q, r] = Divide(x, y)
q = x ./ y;
q = floor(q);
r = x - (q .* y);
end

The elementwise operators ./ and .* allows arrays for x and y, if they have the same size or one is a scalar.

Divide = @(x,y)[floor(x./y),mod(x,y)]

Divide = @(x,y)[fix(x./y),rem(x,y)]
