COS(P) POSIX Programmer's Manual COS(P)NAMEcos, cosf, cosl - cosine functionSYNOPSIS#include <math.h> double cos(double x); float cosf(float x); long double cosl(long double x);DESCRIPTIONThese functions shall compute the cosine of their argument x, measured in radians. An application wishing to check for error situations should set errno to zero and call feclearexcept(FE_ALL_EXCEPT) before calling these functions. On return, if errno is non-zero or fetestexcept(FE_INVALID | FE_DIVBYZERO | FE_OVERFLOW | FE_UNDERFLOW) is non-zero, an error has occurred.RETURN VALUEUpon successful completion, these functions shall return the cosine of x. If x is NaN, a NaN shall be returned. If x is +-0, the value 1.0 shall be returned. If x is +-Inf, a domain error shall occur, and either a NaN (if supported), or an implementation-defined value shall be returned.ERRORSThese functions shall fail if: Domain Error The x argument is +-Inf. If the integer expression (math_errhandling & MATH_ERRNO) is non-zero, then errno shall be set to [EDOM]. If the integer expression (math_errhandling & MATH_ERREXCEPT) is non-zero, then the invalid floating-point exception shall be raised. The following sections are informative.EXAMPLESTaking the Cosine of a 45-Degree Angle #include <math.h> ... double radians = 45 * M_PI / 180; double result; ... result = cos(radians);APPLICATION USAGEThese functions may lose accuracy when their argument is near an odd multiple of pi/2 or is far from 0. On error, the expressions (math_errhandling & MATH_ERRNO) and (math_errhandling & MATH_ERREXCEPT) are independent of each other, but at least one of them must be non-zero.RATIONALENone.FUTURE DIRECTIONSNone.SEE ALSOacos() , feclearexcept() , fetestexcept() , isnan() , sin() , tan() , the Base Definitions volume of IEEE Std 1003.1-2001, Section 4.18, Treatment of Error Conditions for Mathematical Functions, <math.h>COPYRIGHTPortions of this text are reprinted and reproduced in electronic form from IEEE Std 1003.1, 2003 Edition, Standard for Information Technol- ogy -- Portable Operating System Interface (POSIX), The Open Group Base Specifications Issue 6, Copyright (C) 2001-2003 by the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, Inc and The Open Group.
