tan(3M) Mathematical Library Functions tan(3M) NAME
tan, tanf, tanl - tangent function SYNOPSIS
cc [ flag... ] file... -lm [ library... ] #include <math.h> double tan(double x); float tanf(float x); long double tanl(long double x); DESCRIPTION
These functions compute the tangent of their argument x, measured in radians. RETURN VALUES
Upon successful completion, these functions return the tangent of x. If x is NaN, a NaN is returned. If x is +-0, x is returned. If x is +-Inf, a domain error occurs and a NaN is returned. ERRORS
These functions will fail if: Domain Error The value of x is +-Inf. If the integer expression (math_errhandling & MATH_ERREXCEPT) is non-zero, the invalid floating-point exception is raised. USAGE
There are no known floating-point representations such that for a normal argument, tan(x) is either overflow or underflow. An application wanting to check for exceptions should call feclearexcept(FE_ALL_EXCEPT) before calling these functions. On return, if fetestexcept(FE_INVALID | FE_DIVBYZERO | FE_OVERFLOW | FE_UNDERFLOW) is non-zero, an exception has been raised. An application should either examine the return value or check the floating point exception flags to detect exceptions. ATTRIBUTES
