Math.Cos Method

.NET Framework 4

Returns the cosine of the specified angle.

Namespace: System
Assembly: mscorlib (in mscorlib.dll)

static member Cos : 
        d:float -> float

Parameters

d: Type: System.Double
An angle, measured in radians.

Return Value

Type: System.Double
The cosine of d. If d is equal to NaN, NegativeInfinity, or PositiveInfinity, this method returns NaN.

Remarks

The angle, d, must be in radians. Multiply by Math.PI/180 to convert degrees to radians.

Acceptable values of d range from approximately -9223372036854775295 to approximately 9223372036854775295. For values outside this range, the Cos method returns d unchanged rather than throwing an exception.

Examples

The following example uses Cos to evaluate certain trigonometric identities for selected angles.
