NAME
tan, tanf, tanl — tangent functionsLIBRARY
Math Library (libm, -lm)SYNOPSIS
#include < math.h> double
tan( double x);
float
tanf( float x);
long double
tanl( long double x);
DESCRIPTION
The tan(), tanf(), and tanl() functions compute the tangent of x (measured in radians). 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.SEE ALSO
