true numerically due to roundoff. For example, and assuming a platform on which
a Python float is an IEEE 754 double-precision number, in order that ``-1e-100 %
1e100`` have the same sign as ``1e100``, the computed result is ``-1e-100 +
1e100``, which is numerically exactly equal to ``1e100``. Function :func:`fmod`
in the :mod:`math` module returns a result whose sign matches the sign of the
1e100``, which is numerically exactly equal to ``1e100``. The function
:func:`math.fmod` returns a result whose sign matches the sign of the
first argument instead, and so returns ``-1e-100`` in this case. Which approach
is more appropriate depends on the application.
