SIN(3)

NAME
sin, sinf, sinl - sine functions

SYNOPSIS
libm
#include <math.h>
double
sin(double x);
float
sinf(float x);
long double
sinl(long double x);

DESCRIPTION
The sin() function computes the sine of x (measured in radians). The sinf() function is a single precision version of sin(). The sinl() function is an extended precision version of sin(). A large magnitude argument may yield a result with little or no significance.

RETURN VALUES
The sin(), sinf() and sinl() functions return the sine value.

STANDARDS
The sin() function conforms to ansiC.

HISTORY
