tand

Compute the tangent of the input angle.

Interface Definition

C interface:

float tandf(float x);

double tand(double x);

long double tandl(long double x);

Parameters

Parameter	Type	Description	Input/Output
x	For tandf, x is of single-precision floating-point type. For tand, x is of double-precision floating-point type. For tandl, x is of long double-precision floating-point type.	Floating-point value representing an angle.	Input

Return Value

Normal range: The tangent of angle x is returned.
If the input x = 180 * k (k is an integer), the output is ±0.
If the input x = 180 * k + 90 (k is an integer), the output is ±inf.
If the input |x| = inf or NaN, the output is NaN.

Example

C interface:

// typical usage
float x1 = -1.0, x2 = 1.0, x3 = 0.5, x4 = -0.5;
// special handling
float a = 0.0, b = INFINITY, c = -INFINITY, d = NAN;
// print result
printf("tand(1.0) = %.15f\n", tand(x1));
printf("tand(-1.0) = %.15f\n", tand(x2));
printf("tand(0.5) = %.15f\n", tand(x3));
printf("tand(-0.5) = %.15f\n", tand(x4));
printf("tand(0.0) = %.15f\n", tand(a));
printf("tand(-0.0) = %.15f\n", tand(-a));
printf("tand(INFINITY) = %.15f\n", tand(b));
printf("tand(-INFINITY) = %.15f\n", tand(c));
printf("tand(NAN) = %.15f\n", tand(d));
