COS(3P) POSIX Programmer's Manual COS(3P)
This manual page is part of the POSIX Programmer's Manual. The Linux
implementation of this interface may differ (consult the
corresponding Linux manual page for details of Linux behavior), or
the interface may not be implemented on Linux.
cos, cosf, cosl — cosine function
#include <math.h>
double cos(double x);
float cosf(float x);
long double cosl(long double x);
The functionality described on this reference page is aligned with
the ISO C standard. Any conflict between the requirements described
here and the ISO C standard is unintentional. This volume of
POSIX.1‐2008 defers to the ISO C standard.
These functions shall compute the cosine of their argument x,
measured in radians.
An application wishing to check for error situations should set errno
to zero and call feclearexcept(FE_ALL_EXCEPT) before calling these
functions. On return, if errno is non-zero or fetestexcept(FE_INVALID
| FE_DIVBYZERO | FE_OVERFLOW | FE_UNDERFLOW) is non-zero, an error
has occurred.
Upon successful completion, these functions shall return the cosine
of x.
If x is NaN, a NaN shall be returned.
If x is ±0, the value 1.0 shall be returned.
If x is ±Inf, a domain error shall occur, and a NaN shall be
returned.
These functions shall fail if:
Domain Error
The x argument is ±Inf.
If the integer expression (math_errhandling & MATH_ERRNO)
is non-zero, then errno shall be set to [EDOM]. If the
integer expression (math_errhandling & MATH_ERREXCEPT) is
non-zero, then the invalid floating-point exception shall
be raised.
The following sections are informative.
Taking the Cosine of a 45-Degree Angle
#include <math.h>
...
double radians = 45 * M_PI / 180;
double result;
...
result = cos(radians);
These functions may lose accuracy when their argument is near an odd
multiple of π/2 or is far from 0.
On error, the expressions (math_errhandling & MATH_ERRNO) and
(math_errhandling & MATH_ERREXCEPT) are independent of each other,
but at least one of them must be non-zero.
None.
None.
