   Neither any of the other languages. In contrast to your initial assertion.

   Which is a behavior that you can hardly guess without reading the doc,   
   same as `FRACTION()` in Fortran. And yet, you do not blame Python for that.

   And Fortran has `MOD()`, that can be used to directly get the fractional   
   part:   
      
   =====================   
   print*, mod(3.14,1.0)   
   end   
   =====================   
      0.140000105
