The sin(), sinf(), and sinl() functions compute the sine of x, measured in radians. The sind(), sindf(), and sindl() functions compute the sine of x, measured in degrees. The cos(), cosf(), and cosl() functions compute the cosine of x, measured in radians. The cosd(), cosdf(), and cosdl() functions compute the cosine of x, measured in degrees. The tan(), tanf(), and tanl() functions compute the tangent of x, measured in radians. The tand(), tandf(), and tandl() functions compute the tangent of x, measured in degrees. The cot(), cotf(), and cotl() functions compute the cotangent of x, measured in radians. The cotd(), cotdf(), and cotdl() functions compute the cotangent of x, measured in degrees. The asin(), asinf(), and asinl() functions compute the principal value of the arc sine of x in the interval [-pi/2,pi/2] radians. The value of x must be in the domain [-1,1]. The asind(), asindf(), and asindl() functions compute the principal value of the arc sine of x in the interval [-90,90] degrees. The value of x must be in the domain [-1,1]. The acos(), acosf(), and acosl() functions compute the principal value of the arc cosine of x in the interval [0,pi] radians. The value of x must be in the domain [-1,1]. The acosd(), acosdf(), and acosdl() functions compute the principal value of the arc cosine of x in the interval [0,180] degrees. The value of x must be in the domain [-1,1]. The atan(), atanf(), and atanl() functions compute the principal value of the arc tangent of x in the interval [-pi/2,pi/2] radians. The atand(), atandf(), and atandl() functions compute the principal value of the arc tangent of x in the interval [-90,90] degrees. The atan2(), atan2f(), and atan2l() functions compute the principal value of the arc tangent of y/x, in the interval [-pi,pi] radians. The sign of atan2() and atan2f() is determined by the sign of y. The value of atan2(y,x) is computed as follows where f is the number of frac- tion bits associated with the data type. ------------------------------------------------------ Value of Input Arguments Angle Returned ------------------------------------------------------ x = 0 or y/x > 2**(f+1) pi/2 * (sign y) x > 0 and y/x <= 2**(f+1) atan(y/x) x < 0 and y/x <= 2**(f+1) pi * (sign y) + atan(y/x) ------------------------------------------------------ The atand2(), atand2f(), and atand2l() functions compute the principal value of the arc tangent of y/x in the interval [-180,180] degrees. The sign of atand2() and atand2f() is determined by the sign of y.
