--- layout: stdlib-reference --- # frac ## Description Extract the fractional part of a floating-point number. ## Signature
T frac<T>(T x)
where T : __BuiltinFloatingPointType;
vector<T, N> frac<T, int N>(vector<T, N> x)
where T : __BuiltinFloatingPointType;
matrix<T, N, M> frac<T, int N, int M>(matrix<T, N, M> x)
where T : __BuiltinFloatingPointType;
## Generic Parameters
#### T: [\_\_BuiltinFloatingPointType](../interfaces/0_builtinfloatingpointtype-029hm/index.html)
#### N : int
#### M : int
## Parameters
#### x : [T](frac.html#typeparam-T)
The input value.
#### x : [vector](../types/vector/index.html)\<[T](../types/vector/index.html#typeparam-T), [N](../types/vector/index.html#decl-N)\>
The input value.
#### x : [matrix](../types/matrix/index.html)\<[T](../types/matrix/t-0.html), [N](../types/matrix/index.html#decl-N), [M](../types/matrix/index.html#decl-M)\>
The input value.
