Description

array gmp_sqrtrem ( resource $a )

Parameters

a

Examples

Example #1 gmp_sqrtrem example


<?php
list($sqrt1, $sqrt1rem) = gmp_sqrtrem("9");
list($sqrt2, $sqrt2rem) = gmp_sqrtrem("7");
list($sqrt3, $sqrt3rem) = gmp_sqrtrem("1048576");

echo gmp_strval($sqrt1) . ", " . gmp_strval($sqrt1rem) . "\n";
echo gmp_strval($sqrt2) . ", " . gmp_strval($sqrt2rem) . "\n";
echo gmp_strval($sqrt3) . ", " . gmp_strval($sqrt3rem) . "\n";
?>

The above example will output:
