TAN(3) OpenBSD Programmer's Manual TAN(3)NAME
tan, tanf, tanl - tangent functions
SYNOPSIS
#include <math.h>
double
tan(double x);
float
tanf(float x);
long double
tanl(long double x);
DESCRIPTION
The tan() function computes the tangent of x (measured in radians). The
tanf() function is a single precision version of tan(). The tanl()
function is an extended precision version of tan(). A large magnitude
argument may yield a result with little or no significance. For a
discussion of error due to roundoff, see math(3).
RETURN VALUES
The tan(), tanf() and tanl() functions return the tangent value.
