1.54 sin, sinf, cos, cosf—sine or cosine

Synopsis

     #include <math.h>
     double sin(double x);
     float  sinf(float x);
     double cos(double x);
     float cosf(float x);
     

Description
sin and cos compute (respectively) the sine and cosine of the argument x. Angles are specified in radians.

sinf and cosf are identical, save that they take and return float values.


Returns
The sine or cosine of x is returned.
