tan

Compute the tangent of the input radian.

Interface Definition

C interface:

float tanf(float x);

double tan(double x);

long double tanl(long double x);

Fortran interface:

RES = TANF(X);

RES = TAN(X);

Parameters

Parameter	Type	Description	Input/Output
x	For tanf, x is of single-precision floating-point type. For tan, x is of double-precision floating-point type. For tanl, x is of long double-precision floating-point type.	Floating-point value of a radian angle.	Input

Return Value

The tangent y of the radian angle x is returned. y ∈ (-INF, +INF)
If the input is +0, the return value is +0.
If the input is -0, the return value is -0.
If the input is ±∞, the return value is NaN.
If the input is NaN, the return value is NaN.

This function has a mathematical pole at π(1/2 + n). Because no general floating-point numbers can accurately represent the value at the pole, the return value for the pole cannot be considered reliable.

Fortran: "km.f03"

Examples

C interface:

    double pi = acos(-1); 
    // typical usage 
    double a = pi/3, c = -3*pi/4, d = 0.0; 
    // special handling 
    double b = pi/2, e = INFINITY, f = -INFINITY, g = NAN; 
    double complex k = 0 + 0 * I;
    // print result 
    printf("tan(pi/3) = %.15f\n", tan(a)); 
    printf("tan(-3*pi/4) = %.15f\n", tan(c)); 
    printf("tan(0.0) = %.15f\n", tan(d)); 
    // mathematical poles 
    printf("tan(pi/2) = %.15f\n", tan(b)); 
    printf("tan(INFINITY) = %.15f\n", tan(e)); 
    printf("tan(-INFINITY) = %.15f\n", tan(f)); 
    printf("tan(NAN) = %.15f\n", tan(g));
