ccosf, ccos, ccosl

Parameters

Return value

If no errors occur, the complex cosine of z is returned.

Errors and special cases are handled as if the operation is implemented by ccosh ( I * z ) .

Notes

The cosine is an entire function on the complex plane, and has no branch cuts.

Example

#include <stdio.h>
#include <math.h>
#include <complex.h>
 
int main(void)
{
    double complex z = ccos(1);  // behaves like real cosine along the real line
    printf("cos(1+0i) = %f%+fi ( cos(1)=%f)\n", creal(z), cimag(z), cos(1));
 
    double complex z2 = ccos(I); // behaves like real cosh along the imaginary line
    printf("cos(0+1i) = %f%+fi (cosh(1)=%f)\n", creal(z2), cimag(z2), cosh(1));
}

cos(1+0i) = 0.540302-0.000000i ( cos(1)=0.540302)
cos(0+1i) = 1.543081-0.000000i (cosh(1)=1.543081)
