Template:Cos

From OeisWiki
Jump to: navigation, search

The {{cos}} circular function template returns the cosine of , where is a real number expressing a circular angle in radians.

Note that you may also use the cos operator (used within the {{#expr: }} parser function extension, e.g. {{#expr: cos (pi/6) }}) which also takes a circular angle in radians as argument.

Usage

{{cos|a real number}}

Valid input

A real number (expressing a circular angle in radians) as argument.

Examples

Examples with valid input

{{cos|-5*pi/2}} 3.0616169978684E-16

Examples with invalid input (returns an error message)

Code Result
{{cos|i}} Expression error: Unrecognized word "i".

Code

Currently (using built-in error message)

{{#expr: cos ({{{1}}}) }}

instead of (using custom error message)

{{ifnum| {{{1|NAN}}}
| {{#expr: cos ({{{1}}}) }}
| {{error| Cos error: Argument must be a real number (circular angle in radians) }}
}}
