39.Nm cos , 40.Nm cosf 41.Nd cosine functions |
42.Sh SYNOPSIS 43.Fd #include <math.h> 44.Ft double 45.Fn cos "double x" |
46.Ft float 47.Fn cos "float x" |
48.Sh DESCRIPTION 49The 50.Fn cos |
51and the 52.Fn cosf 53functions compute the cosine of |
54.Fa x 55(measured in radians). 56A large magnitude argument may yield a result with little or no 57significance. 58For a discussion of error due to roundoff, see 59.Xr math 3 . 60.Sh RETURN VALUES 61The 62.Fn cos |
63and the 64.Fn cosf 65functions return the cosine value. |
