NAME
sin, sinf, sinl - sine functionSYNOPSIS
#include <math.h> double sin(double x); float sinf(float x); long double sinl(long double x); Link with -lm. Feature Test Macro Requirements for glibc (see feature_test_macros(7)): sinf(), sinl(): _ISOC99_SOURCE || _POSIX_C_SOURCE >= 200112L || /* Since glibc 2.19: */ _DEFAULT_SOURCE || /* Glibc versions <= 2.19: */ _BSD_SOURCE || _SVID_SOURCEDESCRIPTION
These functions return the sine of x, where x is given in radians.RETURN VALUE
On success, these functions return the sine of x. If x is a NaN, a NaN is returned. If x is positive infinity or negative infinity, a domain error occurs, and a NaN is returned.ERRORS
See math_error(7) for information on how to determine whether an error has occurred when calling these functions. The following errors can occur: Domain error: x is an infinity errno is set to EDOM (but see BUGS). An invalid floating-point exception (FE_INVALID) is raised.ATTRIBUTES
For an explanation of the terms used in this section, see attributes(7). ┌──────────────────────┬───────────────┬─────────┐ │Interface │ Attribute │ Value │ ├──────────────────────┼───────────────┼─────────┤ │sin(), sinf(), sinl() │ Thread safety │ MT-Safe │ └──────────────────────┴───────────────┴─────────┘CONFORMING TO
C99, POSIX.1-2001, POSIX.1-2008. The variant returning double also conforms to SVr4, 4.3BSD, C89.BUGS
Before version 2.10, the glibc implementation did not set errno to EDOM when a domain error occurred.SEE ALSO
