TAN(P)			   POSIX Programmer's Manual			TAN(P)

PROLOG
       This  manual  page is part of the POSIX Programmer's Manual.  The Linux
       implementation of this interface may differ (consult the	 corresponding
       Linux  manual page for details of Linux behavior), or the interface may
       not be implemented on Linux.

NAME
       tan, tanf, tanl - tangent function

SYNOPSIS
       #include <math.h>

       double tan(double x);
       float tanf(float x);
       long double tanl(long double x);

DESCRIPTION
       These functions shall compute the tangent of their argument x, measured
       in radians.

       An  application	wishing to check for error situations should set errno
       to zero and  call  feclearexcept(FE_ALL_EXCEPT)	before	calling	 these
       functions.   On return, if errno is non-zero or fetestexcept(FE_INVALID
       | FE_DIVBYZERO | FE_OVERFLOW | FE_UNDERFLOW) is non-zero, an error  has
       occurred.

RETURN VALUE
       Upon successful completion, these functions shall return the tangent of
       x.

       If the correct value would cause underflow, and is not representable, a
       range error may occur, and    either 0.0 (if supported), or   an imple‐
       mentation-defined value shall be returned.

       If x is NaN, a NaN shall be returned.

       If x is ±0, x shall be returned.

       If x is subnormal, a range error may occur and x should be returned.

       If x is ±Inf, a domain error shall occur, and either  a	NaN  (if  sup‐
       ported), or an implementation-defined value shall be returned.

       If  the	correct	 value	would cause underflow, and is representable, a
       range error may occur and the correct value shall be returned.

       If the correct value would cause overflow, a range  error  shall	 occur
       and  tan(),  tanf(), and tanl() shall return ±HUGE_VAL, ±HUGE_VALF, and
       ±HUGE_VALL, respectively, with the same sign as the  correct  value  of
       the function.

ERRORS
       These functions shall fail if:

       Domain Error
	      The value of x is ±Inf.

       If  the integer expression (math_errhandling & MATH_ERRNO) is non-zero,
       then  errno  shall  be  set  to	[EDOM].	 If  the  integer   expression
       (math_errhandling  &  MATH_ERREXCEPT)  is  non-zero,  then  the invalid
       floating-point exception shall be raised.

       Range Error
	      The result overflows

       If the integer expression (math_errhandling & MATH_ERRNO) is  non-zero,
       then  errno  shall  be  set  to	[ERANGE].  If  the  integer expression
       (math_errhandling & MATH_ERREXCEPT)  is	non-zero,  then	 the  overflow
       floating-point exception shall be raised.

       These functions may fail if:

       Range Error
	      The result underflows,	or the value of x is subnormal.

       If  the integer expression (math_errhandling & MATH_ERRNO) is non-zero,
       then errno  shall  be  set  to  [ERANGE].  If  the  integer  expression
       (math_errhandling  &  MATH_ERREXCEPT)  is  non-zero, then the underflow
       floating-point exception shall be raised.

       The following sections are informative.

EXAMPLES
   Taking the Tangent of a 45-Degree Angle
	      #include <math.h>
	      ...
	      double radians = 45.0 * M_PI / 180;
	      double result;
	      ...
	      result = tan (radians);

APPLICATION USAGE
       There are no known floating-point representations such that for a  nor‐
       mal argument, tan( x) is either overflow or underflow.

       These  functions may lose accuracy when their argument is near a multi‐
       ple of pi/2 or is far from 0.0.

       On  error,  the	expressions  (math_errhandling	 &   MATH_ERRNO)   and
       (math_errhandling  & MATH_ERREXCEPT) are independent of each other, but
       at least one of them must be non-zero.

RATIONALE
       None.

FUTURE DIRECTIONS
       None.
