Currently I write some ugly code like
def div(dividend: Int, divisor: Int) = {
val q = dividend / divisor
val mod = dividend % divisor
(q, mod)
}
Is it specified in standard library?

No (except for BigInt
, as mentioned in other answers), but you can add it:
implicit class QuotRem[T: Integral](x: T) {
def /%(y: T) = (x / y, x % y)
}
will work for all integral types. You can improve performance by making separate classes for each type such as
implicit class QuotRemInt(x: Int) extends AnyVal {
def /%(y: Int) = (x / y, x % y)
}
A bit late to the game, but since Scala 2.8 this works:
import scala.math.Integral.Implicits._
val (quotient, remainder) = 5 /% 2
In BigInt
, note /%
operation which delivers a pair with the division and the reminder (see API). Note for instance
scala> BigInt(3) /% BigInt(2)
(scala.math.BigInt, scala.math.BigInt) = (1,1)
scala> BigInt(3) /% 2
(scala.math.BigInt, scala.math.BigInt) = (1,1)
where the second example involves an implicit conversion from Int
to BigInt
.
BigInt does it
def /%(that: BigInt): (BigInt, BigInt)
Division and Remainder - returns tuple containing the result of divideToIntegralValue and the remainder.
