COS(X) computes the cosine of X.

Standard:

F77 and later, has overloads that are GNU extensions

Class:

Elemental function

Syntax:

RESULT = COS(X)

Arguments:

X	The type shall be REAL(*) or COMPLEX(*).

Return value:

The return value is of type REAL(*) and it lies in the range -1 \leq \cos (x) \leq 1. The kind type parameter is the same as X.

Example:

          program test_cos
            real :: x = 0.0
            x = cos(x)
          end program test_cos
