@stdlib/math-base-special-cosd v0.1.0

cosd

Computes the cosine of an angle measured in degrees.

Installation

npm install @stdlib/math-base-special-cosd

Usage

var cosd = require( '@stdlib/math-base-special-cosd' );

cosd( x )

Computes the cosine of x (in degrees).

var v = cosd( 0.0 );
// returns 1.0

v = cosd( 60.0 );
// returns ~0.5

v = cosd( 90.0 );
// returns 0.0

v = cosd( NaN );
// returns NaN

Examples

var linspace = require( '@stdlib/array-base-linspace' );
var cosd = require( '@stdlib/math-base-special-cosd' );

var x = linspace( -180, 180, 100 );

var i;
for ( i = 0; i < x.length; i++ ) {
    console.log( cosd( x[ i ] ) );
}
