Which of the following operations are INCORRECT?

Q: Which of the following operations are INCORRECT?

float a = 3.14; a = a%3; gives "Illegal use of floating point" error. The modulus (%) operator can only be used on integer types. We have to use fmod() function in math.h for float values.

int i = 35; i = i%5;
short int j = 255; j = j;
long int k = 365L; k = k;
float a = 3.14; a = a%3;

Correct Answer: float a = 3.14; a = a%3;

Explanation:

float a = 3.14; a = a%3; gives "Illegal use of floating point" error.

The modulus (%) operator can only be used on integer types. We have to use fmod() function in math.h for float values.
