sinl —
sine functions
SYNOPSIS
#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.
