cos() Calculate Cosine
#include <math.h>
double cos(x); Cosine
double x; Radians
cos() returns the cosine of 'x' radians.
Returns: Cosine of 'x' in the range of -1 to 1.
Notes: Error handling can be modified with the matherr()
function.
-------------------------------- Example ---------------------------------
The following statements print the cosine of pi radians and 5.2e8 pi
radians, and check for any loss of significance.
#include <math.h> /* for cos() and ERANGE */
#include <stdio.h> /* for printf() */
#include <stdlib.h> /* for errno */
main()
{
double cosine, pi = 3.1415926535;
cosine = cos(pi);
printf("cosine of pi = %e\n", cosine);
errno = 0;
cosine = cos(5.2e8 * pi);
if (errno == ERANGE)
printf("ERANGE error in cos()\n");
printf("cosine of 5.2e8 * pi = %e\n", cosine);
}
