C++ tan() function

tan() function is a library function of cmath header, it is used to find the tangent of the given number (angle), it accepts a number (x) and returns the tangent of angle x radians.

Syntax

Syntax of tan() function:

tan(x);

Parameter(s)

x – is the value of an angle in radians whose tangent to be calculated.

Return value

double – it returns double type value that is the tangent of given angle x radians.

Sample Input and Output

Input:
float x = 2.45;
    
Function call:
tan(x);    
    
Output:
-0.828017

Example

// C++ code to demonstrate the example of 
// tan() function

#include <iostream>
#include <cmath>
using namespace std;

// main() section
int main()
{
    float x;
    
    x = -10.23;
    cout<<"tan("<<x<<"): "<<tan(x)<<endl;

    x = 0;
    cout<<"tan("<<x<<"): "<<tan(x)<<endl;    

    x = 2.45;
    cout<<"tan("<<x<<"): "<<tan(x)<<endl;    
    
    return 0;
}

Output

tan(-10.23): -1.04045
tan(0): 0
tan(2.45): -0.828017
