Compute the complex tangent

Synopsis:

#include <complex.h>

double complex ctan( double complex z );

float complex ctanf( float complex z );

long double complex ctanl( long double complex z );

Arguments:

z
The complex value that you want to get the tangent of.

Library:

libm
The general-purpose math library.
libm-sve
(QNX Neutrino 7.1 or later) A library that optimizes the code for ARMv8.2 chips that have Scalable Vector Extension hardware.

Your system requirements will determine how you should work with these libraries:

Note: Compile your program with the -fno-builtin option to prevent the compiler from using a built-in version of the function.

Description:

These functions compute the complex tangent of z.

To check for error situations, use feclearexcept() and fetestexcept(). For example:

Returns:

The complex tangent of z. Errors and special cases are handled as if the operation were implemented as -i * ctanh(i * z).

These functions raise FE_INEXACT if the FPU reports that the result can't be exactly represented as a floating-point number.

Classification:

C11, POSIX 1003.1
