cos -- Calculate Cosine

Format

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

Language Level: ANSI, POSIX, XPG4
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.

Return Value
cos returns the cosine of x.

Example
This example calculates y to be the cosine of x.

#include <math.h>
#include <stdio.h>
int main(void)
{
   double x, y;
   x = 7.2;
   y = cos(x);
   printf("cos( %lf ) = %lf\n", x, y);
   /***************************************
      The output should be:
      cos( 7.200000 ) = 0.608351
   ***************************************/
