Calculates the cosine.

Syntax

double cos( double x );
float cosf( float x );
long double cosl( long double x );
#define cos(X) // Requires C11 or higher

float cos( float x );  // C++ only
long double cos( long double x );  // C++ only

Parameters

x
Angle in radians.

Return Value

The cosine of x. If x is greater than or equal to 263, or less than or equal to -263, a loss of significance in the result occurs.

Input	SEH Exception	Matherr Exception

± INF	INVALID	_DOMAIN

Remarks

Because C++ allows overloading, you can call overloads of cos that take and return float or long double values. In a C program, unless you're using the <tgmath.h> macro to call this function, cos always takes and returns a double.

If you use the <tgmath.h> cos() macro, the type of the argument determines which version of the function is selected. See Type-generic math for details.

By default, this function's global state is scoped to the application. To change this, see Global state in the CRT.

Requirements

Routine	Required C header	Required C++ header
cos, cosh, cosf	<math.h>	<cmath> or <math.h>
cos() macro	<tgmath.h>
