COS(3)

NAME
cos, cosf, cosl - cosine functions

LIBRARY
libm

SYNOPSIS
#include <math.h>
double
cos(double x);
float
cosf(float x);
long double
cosl(long double x);

DESCRIPTION
The cos(), cosf(), and cosl() functions compute the cosine of x (measured in radians). A large magnitude argument may yield a result with little or no significance. For a discussion of error due to roundoff, see math(3).

RETURN VALUES
The cos(), cosf(), and cosl() functions return the cosine value.

SEE ALSO
acos(3), asin(3), atan(3), atan2(3), ccos(3), cosh(3), math(3), sin(3), sinh(3), tan(3), tanh(3)

STANDARDS
These functions conform to isoC-99.
