cos
function
<cmath> double cos ( double x ); float cos ( float x ); long double cos ( long double x );

Compute cosine Returns the cosine of an angle of x radians. In C++, this function is overloaded in <complex> and <valarray> (see complex cos and valarray cos).

Parameters
x Floating point value representing an angle expressed in radians.

Return Value
Cosine of x.

Portability
In C, only the double version of this function exists with this name.

Example
1 2 3 4 5 6 /* cos example */ #include <stdio.h> #include <math.h> #define PI 3.14159265
