COS(3) BSD Library Functions Manual COS(3)NAME
cos, cosf — cosine function
LIBRARY
Math Library (libm, -lm)
SYNOPSIS
#include <math.h>
double
cos(double x);
float
cosf(float x);
DESCRIPTION
The cos() and cosf() functions compute the cosine of x (measured in radi‐
ans). 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() function returns the cosine value.
