Domain error: x is an infinity	errno is set to EDOM (but see BUGS). An invalid floating-point exception (FE_INVALID) is raised.
Range error: result overflow	An overflow floating-point exception (FE_OVERFLOW) is raised.

NAME

tan, tanf, tanl - tangent function

LIBRARY

Math library (libm, -lm)

SYNOPSIS

bash

#include <math.h>

bash

DESCRIPTION

These functions return the tangent of x, where x is given in radians.

RETURN VALUE

On success, these functions return the tangent 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.

If the correct result would overflow, a range error occurs, and the functions return HUGE_VAL, HUGE_VALF, or HUGE_VALL, respectively, with the mathematically correct sign.

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.
Range error: result overflow: An overflow floating-point exception (FE_OVERFLOW) is raised.

ATTRIBUTES

For an explanation of the terms used in this section, see attributes(7).

STANDARDS

C11, POSIX.1-2008.

HISTORY

C99, POSIX.1-2001.

The variant returning double also conforms to SVr4, 4.3BSD, C89.

BUGS

Before glibc 2.10, the glibc implementation did not set errno to EDOM when a domain error occurred.
