cos - Calculate Cosine

Syntax

#include <math.h>
double cos(double x);

Description
cos calculates the cosine of x. The value x is expressed in radians. If x is too large, a partial loss of significance in the result may occur.
Returns

cos returns the cosine of x.

Example Code

This example calculates y to be the cosine of x.

#include <math.h>

int main(void)
{
   double x,y;

   x = 7.2;
   y = cos(x);
   printf("cos( %lf ) = %lf\n", x, y);
   return 0;

   /****************************************************************************
      The output should be:

      cos( 7.200000 ) = 0.608351
   ****************************************************************************/
}
