cot

Contents: Description, Arguments, Usage, Examples, Sub-Functions, Related Functions, Source Supported Under Version: > 1.10 Current .dvrc Version: 1.29 Description Computes the trigonometric cotangent of the input value. Arguments and Return Values Parameters: An array of any numeric data type or organization containing the values of angles in radians. Return Value: A float array of the same organization as the input containing the cotangent of the input. Usage Syntax: cot(x) 'x' is any numeric array This function just uses cot(x) = 1/tan(x); it will print a divide by zero warning (and return the correct value, 0) when x = 0 Cotangent is undefined (infinite) for x = n*π for any integer n; this function returns zero in those cases Return format is double if input is double; float otherwise When cot() is entered without any arguments, it prints its description, as shown below.
