<p><a name="index-sin-140"></a><a name="index-sinf-141"></a><a name="index-cos-142"></a><a name="index-cosf-143"></a><strong>Synopsis</strong>
<pre class="example"> #include &lt;math.h&gt;
double sin(double <var>x</var>);
float sinf(float <var>x</var>);
double cos(double <var>x</var>);
float cosf(float <var>x</var>);
</pre>
<p><strong>Description</strong><br>
<code>sin</code> and <code>cos</code> compute (respectively) the sine and cosine
of the argument <var>x</var>. Angles are specified in radians.
<p><code>sinf</code> and <code>cosf</code> are identical, save that they take and
return <code>float</code> values.
<p><br>
<strong>Returns</strong><br>
The sine or cosine of <var>x</var> is returned.
<p><br>
<strong>Portability</strong><br>
<code>sin</code> and <code>cos</code> are ANSI C.
<code>sinf</code> and <code>cosf</code> are extensions.
