remainder(x,360) takes any angle and normalizes it to the range -180..+180. In other words, it finds the equivalent smallest-magnitude angle. fmod does not do this.

Once your angle is in the range -180..+180, you can simply divide it by 180 to put it in the range -1..+1 if you want.

If your C compiler does not have a remainder(x,y) function per per IEC 60559
as specified on Page 235 Section 7.12.10.2 of ISO/IEC 9899:TC3 ,
you can create your own as I showed in a previous post.
