cos in c

What is cos in c programming?

cos in c is a mathematical function which is used to find cosine of a given number.

This function is defined in math.h header file.

Prototype

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

Parameters

cos function takes floating point value as angle in radians.

Return value

This function returns cosine of a given number.

Example program for cos in c

#include <stdio.h>
#include <math.h>
#define PI 3.14
int main() 
{
   double x, res, val1;
   x=35.0;
   val1=PI/180;
   res=cos(x*val1);
   printf("The cosine of %lf is %lf degrees", x, res);
   return 0;
}

While using gcc use below command to add math header.

gcc file_name.c -lm

Code explanation

The variable val1 is converted in terms of degrees and passed along with the input value to the cos function. The cosine value is being printed onto the console.
