sincos

Syntax

#include <math.h> void sincos(double *cosine, double *sine, double x);

Description

This function computes the cosine and the sine of x in a single call, and stores the results in the addresses pointed to by cosine and sine, respectively. Since the function exploits a machine instruction that computes both cosine and sine simultaneously, it is faster to call sincos than to call cos and sin for the same argument.

If the absolute value of x is finite but greater than or equal to 2^63, the value stored in *cosine is 1 and the value stored in *sine is 0 (since for arguments that large each bit of the mantissa is more than Pi). If the value of x is infinite or NaN, NaN is stored in both *cosine and *sine, and errno is set to EDOM.

Return Value

None.
