| 44 | .Sh SYNOPSIS |
| 45 | .In math.h |
| 46 | .Ft double |
| 47 | .Fn tan "double x" |
| 48 | .Ft float |
| 49 | .Fn tanf "float x" |
| 50 | .Sh DESCRIPTION |
| 51 | The |
| 52 | .Fn tan |
| 53 | and the |
| 54 | .Fn tanf |
| 55 | functions compute the tangent of |
| 56 | .Fa x |
| 57 | (measured in radians). |
| 58 | A large magnitude argument may yield a result |
| 59 | with little or no significance. |
| 60 | For a discussion of error due to roundoff, see |
| 61 | .Xr math 3 . |
| 62 | .Sh RETURN VALUES |
| 63 | The |
| 64 | .Fn tan |
| 65 | function returns the tangent value. |
