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``.

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.
