Are there any methods that returns just the decimal after a division? (Python3)

In python 3, are there any methods that would return just the decimal value after a division?

For example, if I divided 4 by 5 in this method, it w开发者_Go百科ould return 8.

Use floating-point division. e.g.:

(11.0 / 5) % 1 = 0.20000000000000018

(1.0 * 11 / 5) % 1 = 0.20000000000000018

How about this?

>>> int(((4.0 / 5.0) % 1) * 10)
8

You can easily calculate it using int, for a generic number a:

int(10*a)%10

However, note that this only works for positive numbers!

If you want it to work for negative numbers as well:

int(10*a*cmp(a,0))%10*cmp(a,0)

You can do this without floating point operations, right?

foo=lambda x,y: (10*(x%y))/y)

# Demo
>>> for i in range(20):
...   print(foo(i,7), i/7.0)
...
