TAN — Tangent function¶

TAN(X)¶

TAN(X) computes the tangent of X.

Parameters: X – The type shall be REAL or COMPLEX.
Returns: The return value has same type and kind as X, and its value is in radians.

Standard:: Fortran 77 and later, for a complex argument Fortran 2008 or later
Class:: Elemental function

Syntax:

RESULT = TAN(X)

Example:

program test_tan
  real(8) :: x = 0.165_8
  x = tan(x)
end program test_tan

Specific names:

Name	Argument	Return type	Standard
