Defined in header <cmath>
float       cos( float arg );
double      cos( double arg );
long double cos( long double arg );
double      cos( Integral arg );		(since C++11)

Computes cosine of arg

Parameters

arg

-

floating point value representing angle in radians

Return value

cosine of arg in the range [-1.0 ; 1.0].

Domain error occurs if arg is infinite. NAN is returned in that case.
