NAME

ccos, ccosf, ccosl - complex cosine function

LIBRARY

Math library (libm, -lm)

SYNOPSIS

bash

#include <complex.h>

bash

double complex ccos(double complex \nz\n);\n
\nfloat complex ccosf(float complex \nz\n);\n
\nlong double complex ccosl(long double complex \nz\n);

DESCRIPTION

These functions calculate the complex cosine of z.

The complex cosine function is defined as:

bash

ccos(z) = (exp(i * z) + exp(-i * z)) / 2
