NAMEtan, tanf, tanl − tangent function

---

LIBRARYMath library (libm, −lm)

---

SYNOPSIS#include <math.h>double tan(double x); float tanf(float x); long double tanl(long double x);Feature Test Macro Requirements for glibc (see feature_test_macros(7)): tanf(), tanl(): _ISOC99_SOURCE || _POSIX_C_SOURCE >= 200112L || /* Since glibc 2.19: */ _DEFAULT_SOURCE || /* glibc <= 2.19: */ _BSD_SOURCE || _SVID_SOURCE

---

DESCRIPTIONThese functions return the tangent of x, where x is given in radians.

---

RETURN VALUEOn success, these functions return the tangent of x. If x is a NaN, a NaN is returned. If x is positive infinity or negative infinity, a domain error occurs, and a NaN is returned. If the correct result would overflow, a range error occurs, and the functions return HUGE_VAL, HUGE_VALF, or HUGE_VALL, respectively, with the mathematically correct sign.

---

ERRORSSee math_error(7) for information on how to determine whether an error has occurred when calling these functions. The following errors can occur: Domain error: x is an infinity  errno is set to EDOM (but see BUGS). An invalid floating-point exception (FE_INVALID) is raised. Range error: result overflow   An overflow floating-point exception (FE_OVERFLOW) is raised.

ATTRIBUTESFor an explanation of the terms used in this section, see attributes(7). InterfaceAttributeValue tan(), tanf(), tanl() Thread safetyMT-Safe

---

STANDARDSC99, POSIX.1-2001, POSIX.1-2008. The variant returning double also conforms to SVr4, 4.3BSD.

---

BUGSBefore glibc 2.10, the glibc implementation did not set errno to EDOM when a domain error occurred.
