59. Fractional and Integer Splitter

Write a Python program to split the fractional and integer parts of a floating point number.

Sample Solution:

Python Code:

import math
print('           (F)  (I)')
for i in range(6):
    print('{}/2 = {} {}'.format(i, i/2, math.modf(i/2.0)))
	

Sample Output:

           (F)  (I)                                                                                           
0/2 = 0.0 (0.0, 0.0)                                                                                          
1/2 = 0.5 (0.5, 0.0)                                                                                          
2/2 = 1.0 (0.0, 1.0)                                                                                          
3/2 = 1.5 (0.5, 1.0)                                                                                          
4/2 = 2.0 (0.0, 2.0)                                                                                          
5/2 = 2.5 (0.5, 2.0)
