Python math.modf() – Fraction and Integer Parts of a Number

Python math.modf()

math.modf(x) function returns the fractional and integer parts of x.

If x is signed, then both fractional and integer parts carry the sign of x.

Syntax

The syntax to call modf() function is

math.modf(x)

where

Examples

1. Fraction and integer parts of a float value

In the following program, we take a float value of 5.2 in variable x, and find its fraction and integer parts.

import math

x = 5.2
result = math.modf(x)
print('modf() :', result)
print('Fractional Part :', result[0])
print('Integer Part    :', result[1])

Output

modf() : (0.20000000000000018, 5.0)
Fractional Part : 0.20000000000000018
Integer Part    : 5.0

2. Fraction and integer parts of infinity

In the following program, we take the value of infinity in variable x, and find its fraction and integer parts.

import math

x = math.inf
result = math.modf(x)
print('modf() :', result)
print('Fractional Part :', result[0])
print('Integer Part    :', result[1])

Output

modf() : (0.0, inf)
Fractional Part : 0.0
Integer Part    : inf

3. Fraction and integer parts of nan

In the following program, we take nan in variable x, and find its fraction and integer parts.

import math

x = math.nan
result = math.modf(x)
print('modf() :', result)
print('Fractional Part :', result[0])
print('Integer Part    :', result[1])

Output

modf() : (nan, nan)
Fractional Part : nan
Integer Part    : nan
