cosd

Compute the cosine of a real number. The input parameter is an angle.

Interface Definition

C interface:

float cosdf(float x);

Parameters

Parameter	Type	Description	Input/Output
x	For cosdf, x is of single-precision floating-point type.	Floating-point value of an angle	Input

Return Value

The cosine y of angle x is returned. y ∈ [-1, +1].
If the input is +0, the return value is 1.
If the input is -0, the return value is 1.
If the input is ±∞, the return value is NaN.
If the input is NaN, the return value is NaN.

Dependencies

Examples

C interface:

    // typical usage
    float x1 = 90.0, x2 = -90.0, x3 = 45.0, x4 = -45.0, x5 = 30.0, x6 = -30.0;
    float a = 0.0, b = INFINITY, c = -INFINITY, d = NAN;
    // print result
