NAME

cospi, cospif, cospil – half-cycle cosine functions

CONTENTS

LIBRARY

Math Library (libm, -lm)

SYNOPSIS

#include <math.h>

double
cospi(double x);

float
cospif(float x);

long double
cospil(long double x);

DESCRIPTION

The cospi(), cospif(), and cospil() functions compute the cosine of π &#181; x. and measure angles in half-cycles.

RETURN VALUES

The cospi(), cospif(), and cospil() functions returns cos(π &#181; x). If |x| ≥ 2^(p - 1) where p is the floating-point precision of x, then the returned value is 1 and it has no significance.

SPECIAL VALUES

cospi(&#177;0) returns 1.
cospi(&#177;n/2) returns 0 for positive integers n.
cospi(n) returns 1 for even integers n.
cospi(n) returns -1 for odd integers n.
cospi(&#177;∞) return an NaN and raises an FE_INVALID exception.
cospi(NaN) return an NaN and raises an FE_INVALID exception.

AUTHORS

The half-cycle trignometric functions were written by Steven G. Kargl <Mt kargl@FreeBSD.org>.

STANDARDS

These functions conform to IEEE Std 754&#174;-2008 , dqIEEE Standard for Floating-Point Arithmeticdq and to ISO/IEC TS 18661-4 , dqInformation technology &#151; Programming languages, their environments, and system software interfaces &#151; Floating-point extensions for Cdq &#151; Part 4: Supplementary functions.

A typical Unix /bin or /usr/bin directory contains a hundred different kinds of programs, written by dozens of egotistical programmers, each with its own syntax, operating paradigm, rules of use ... strategies for specifying options, and different sets of constraints.
