tan function — Computes tangent

Synopsis

float tan(float x)
double tan(double x)
long double tan(long double x)

The tan function returns the tangent of its argument. The standard does not specify the result when the tangent is undefined (that is, when x is kπ +π/2 for any integer k), but a reasonable result is a range error. Due to the nature of the tangent function, the sign of the return value (HUGE_VAL) can be positive or negative.
