NAMEtan, tanf, tanl — tangent function

SYNOPSIS#include <math.h> double tan(double x); float tanf(float x); long double tanl(long double x);

DESCRIPTIONThe functionality described on this reference page is aligned with the ISO C standard. Any conflict between the requirements described here and the ISO C standard is unintentional. This volume of POSIX.1‐2017 defers to the ISO C standard. These functions shall compute the tangent of their argument x, measured in radians. An application wishing to check for error situations should set errno to zero and call feclearexcept(FE_ALL_EXCEPT) before calling these functions. On return, if errno is non-zero or fetestexcept(FE_INVALID | FE_DIVBYZERO | FE_OVERFLOW | FE_UNDERFLOW) is non-zero, an error has occurred.

RETURN VALUEUpon successful completion, these functions shall return the tangent of x. If the correct value would cause underflow, and is not representable, a range error may occur, and tan(), tanf(), and tanl() shall return 0.0, or (if IEC 60559 Floating-Point is not supported) an implementation-defined value no greater in magnitude than DBL_MIN, FLT_MIN, and LDBL_MIN, respectively. If x is NaN, a NaN shall be returned. If x is ±0, x shall be returned. If x is subnormal, a range error may occur
and x should be returned.
If x is not returned, tan(), tanf(), and tanl() shall return an implementation-defined value no greater in magnitude than DBL_MIN, FLT_MIN, and LDBL_MIN, respectively. If x is ±Inf, a domain error shall occur, and either a NaN (if supported), or an implementation-defined value shall be returned. If the correct value would cause underflow, and is representable, a range error may occur and the correct value shall be returned. If the correct value would cause overflow, a range error shall occur and tan(), tanf(), and tanl() shall return ±HUGE_VAL, ±HUGE_VALF, and ±HUGE_VALL, respectively, with the same sign as the correct value of the function.

ERRORSThese functions shall fail if: Domain Error The value of x is ±Inf. If the integer expression (math_errhandling & MATH_ERRNO) is non-zero, then errno shall be set to [EDOM]. If the integer expression (math_errhandling & MATH_ERREXCEPT) is non-zero, then the invalid floating-point exception shall be raised. Range Error The result overflows If the integer expression (math_errhandling & MATH_ERRNO) is non-zero, then errno shall be set to [ERANGE]. If the integer expression (math_errhandling & MATH_ERREXCEPT) is non-zero, then the overflow floating-point exception shall be raised.
These functions may fail if: Range Error The result underflows, or the value of x is subnormal. If the integer expression (math_errhandling & MATH_ERRNO) is non-zero, then errno shall be set to [ERANGE]. If the integer expression (math_errhandling & MATH_ERREXCEPT) is non-zero, then the underflow floating-point exception shall be raised. The following sections are informative.

EXAMPLES

Taking the Tangent of a 45-Degree Angle#include <math.h> ​... double radians = 45.0 * M_PI / 180; double result; ​... result = tan (radians);

APPLICATION USAGEThere are no known floating-point representations such that for a normal argument, tan(x) is either overflow or underflow. These functions may lose accuracy when their argument is near a multiple of π/2 or is far from 0.0. On error, the expressions (math_errhandling & MATH_ERRNO) and (math_errhandling & MATH_ERREXCEPT) are independent of each other, but at least one of them must be non-zero.

RATIONALENone.

FUTURE DIRECTIONSNone.
