.SH NAME
cos, cosf, cosl \- cosine function
.SH SYNOPSIS
.LP
\fB#include <math.h>
.br
.sp
double cos(double\fP \fIx\fP\fB);
.br
float cosf(float\fP \fIx\fP\fB);
.br
long double cosl(long double\fP \fIx\fP\fB);
.br
\fP
.SH DESCRIPTION
.LP
These functions shall compute the cosine of their argument \fIx\fP,
measured in radians.
.LP
An application wishing to check for error situations should set \fIerrno\fP
to zero and call
\fIfeclearexcept\fP(FE_ALL_EXCEPT) before calling these functions.
On return, if \fIerrno\fP is non-zero or
\fIfetestexcept\fP(FE_INVALID | FE_DIVBYZERO | FE_OVERFLOW | FE_UNDERFLOW)
is non-zero, an error has occurred.
.SH RETURN VALUE
.LP
Upon successful completion, these functions shall return the cosine
of \fIx\fP.
.LP
If
\fIx\fP is NaN, a NaN shall be returned.
.LP
If \fIx\fP is \(+-0, the value 1.0 shall be returned.
.LP
If \fIx\fP is \(+-Inf, a domain error shall occur, and either a NaN
(if supported), or an implementation-defined value
shall be returned.
.SH ERRORS
.LP
These functions shall fail if:
.TP 7
Domain\ Error
The \fIx\fP argument is \(+-Inf.
.LP
If the integer expression (math_errhandling & MATH_ERRNO) is non-zero,
then \fIerrno\fP 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.
.sp
.LP

.SH EXAMPLES
.SS Taking the Cosine of a 45-Degree Angle
.sp
.RS
.nf
\fB#include <math.h>
\&...
double radians = 45 * M_PI / 180;
double result;
\&...
result = cos(radians);
\fP
.fi
.RE
.SH APPLICATION USAGE
.LP
These functions may lose accuracy when their argument is near an odd
multiple of pi/2 or is
far from 0.
.LP
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.
.SH RATIONALE
.LP
None.
.SH FUTURE DIRECTIONS
.LP
None.
