cos3
Cosine function
Usage
#include <math.h>
double cos(double x); float cosf(float x); long double cosl(long double x);
Feature Test Macro Requirements for glibc (see feature_test_macros(7)):
cosf(), cosl():
_ISOC99_SOURCE || _POSIX_C_SOURCE >= 200112L
|| /* Since glibc 2.19: */ _DEFAULT_SOURCE
|| /* glibc <= 2.19: */ _BSD_SOURCE || _SVID_SOURCE
Library
Math library (libm, -lm)
Overview
These functions return the cosine of x, where x is given in radians.
Return value
On success, these functions return the cosine of x.
If x is a NaN, a NaN is returned.
If x is positive infinity or negative infinity, a domain error occurs, and a NaN is returned.
Errors
See math_error(7) for information on how to determine whether an error has occurred when calling these functions.
The following errors can occur:
- Domain error: x is an infinity
-
errno is set to EDOM (but see BUGS). An invalid floating-point exception (
FE_INVALID) is raised.
