Tangent

Evaluate the tangent of a number.

The tangent is defined as

Installation

npm install @stdlib/math-base-special-tan

Usage

var tan = require( '@stdlib/math-base-special-tan' );

tan( x )

Evaluates the tangent of a number (in radians).

var v = tan( 0.0 );
// returns ~0.0

v = tan( -3.141592653589793/4.0 );
// returns ~-1.0

v = tan( 3.141592653589793/4.0 );
// returns ~1.0

v = tan( NaN );
// returns NaN

Examples

var linspace = require( '@stdlib/array-base-linspace' );
var PI = require( '@stdlib/constants-float64-pi' );
var tan = require( '@stdlib/math-base-special-tan' );

var x = linspace( -PI/2.0, PI/2.0, 100 );

var i;
for ( i = 0; i < x.length; i++ ) {
    console.log( tan( x[ i ] ) );
}

C APIs

Usage

#include "stdlib/math/base/special/tan.h"

stdlib_base_tan( x )

Evaluates the tangent of a number (in radians).

double y = stdlib_base_tan( -3.141592653589793 / 4.0 );
// returns ~-1.0

The function accepts the following arguments:

• x: [in] double input value.

double stdlib_base_tan( const double x );

Examples

#include "stdlib/math/base/special/tan.h"
#include <stdio.h>

int main( void ) {
    const double x[] = { 0.0, 0.523, 0.785, 1.047, 3.14 };

    double y;
    int i;
    for ( i = 0; i < 5; i++ ) {
        y = stdlib_base_tan( x[ i ] );
        printf( "tan(%lf) = %lf\n", x[ i ], y );
    }
}
