How to get the remainder of floats? (GDScript)

Question

I'm trying to get the decimal part only of my number by trying to divide it to 1 and getting the remainder.

This is how I tried it:

answer = somefloat%1

However it gives me an error saying Invalid operands 'float' and 'int' in operator '%'.

So I also tried turning '1' into float:

answer = somefloat%1.0

Then it gave me this Invalid operands 'float' and 'float' in operator '%'.

Can someone please tell me any other solutions for this?

You're not looking for the reciprocal. The reciprocal of a number is the number that, when multiplied by that number, will give 1.

Oops.. Yeah.. Sorry. I was meant to say remainder, not reciprocal. lol

Will edit now.. :P

Maybe modf is what you are looking for http://docs.godotengine.org/en/3.1/classes/class_@gdscript.html?highlight=gdscript#class-gdscript-method-fmod

Answer 2

Nevermind.. I got the answer. Though I don't know if this is the best way to do it.

Apparently '%' operator can't deal with floats so to get the decimal part only I used this:

answer = somefloat - int(somefloat)

By using int(), it automatically gets rid of the decimal part so when you subtract it to the ones with a decimal value, you could get rid of the integer part.
