====== COS ====== (Defined in //[[trigono.bas]]//) The ''COS()'' function returns the cosine of the argument. ===== Function Header ===== DECLARE FUNCTION COS AS FLOAT (arg AS FLOAT) SHARED STATIC You must include the //TRIGONO.BAS// library in your program to be able to access this function. ===== Examples ===== INCLUDE "trigono.bas" PRINT COS(0) : REM outputs .999403 PRINT COS(0.785398) : REM outputs .707704 Trigonometric functions in XC=BASIC were designed to be fast rather than accurate. The result is accurate to 3 to 4 decimal digits (the error range is 0 to 0.0006).
