sin, sinf, sinl, sinh, sinhf, sinhl

Calculates sines and hyperbolic sines.

double sin(
   double x 
);
float sin(
   float x
);  // C++ only
long double sin(
   long double x
);  // C++ only
float sinf(
   float x 
);
long double sinl(
   long double x
);
double sinh(
   double x 
);
float sinh(
   float x 
);  // C++ only
long double sinh(
   long double x
);  // C++ only
float sinhf(
   float x
);
long double sinhl(
   long double x
);

Parameters

• x
  Angle in radians.

Return Value

The sin functions return the sine of x. If x is greater than or equal to 263, or less than or equal to –263, a loss of significance in the result occurs.

The sinh functions return the hyperbolic sine of x. By default, if the result is too large, sinh sets errno to ERANGE and returns ±HUGE_VAL.

For more information about return codes, see errno, _doserrno, _sys_errlist, and _sys_nerr.

Remarks

Because C++ allows overloading, you can call overloads of sin and sinh that take and return float or long double values. In a C program, sin and sinh always take and return double.

Example

// crt_sincos.c
// This program displays the sine, hyperbolic
// sine, cosine, and hyperbolic cosine of pi / 2.
//

#include <math.h>
#include <stdio.h>

int main( void )
{
   double pi = 3.1415926535;
   double x, y;

   x = pi / 2;
   y = sin( x );
   printf( "sin( %f ) = %f\n", x, y );
   y = sinh( x );
   printf( "sinh( %f ) = %f\n",x, y );
   y = cos( x );
   printf( "cos( %f ) = %f\n", x, y );
   y = cosh( x );
   printf( "cosh( %f ) = %f\n",x, y );
}

sin( 1.570796 ) = 1.000000
sinh( 1.570796 ) = 2.301299
cos( 1.570796 ) = 0.000000
cosh( 1.570796 ) = 2.509178
