COS(3)                  System Library Functions Manual                 COS(3)

NAME
     cos, cosf - cosine functions

SYNOPSIS
     #include 

     double
     cos(double x);

     float
     cosf(float x);

DESCRIPTION
     The cos() function computes the cosine of x (measured in radians).  The
     cosf() function is a single precision version of cos().  A large magni-
     tude argument may yield a result with little or no significance.  For a
     discussion of error due to roundoff, see math(3).

RETURN VALUES
     The cos() and cosf() functions return the cosine value.

SEE ALSO
     acos(3), asin(3), atan(3), atan2(3), cosh(3), math(3), sin(3), sinh(3),
     tan(3), tanh(3)

STANDARDS
     The cos() function conforms to ANSI X3.159-1989 (``ANSI C'').
