const double* for vdTand

const double* for vmdTand

Pointer to the array containing the input vector a.

inca, incy

const MKL_INT

Description

y

float* for vsTand

float* for vmsTand

double* for vdTand

double* for vmdTand

Pointer to an array containing the output vector y.

Description

The v?Tand function computes the tangent of vector elements multiplied by π/180. For an argument x, the function computes tan(π*x/180).

Special values for Real Function v?Tand(x)
Argument Result VM Error Status Exception
+0 +1

SNAN QNAN   INVALID

The copysign(x, y) function returns the first vector argument x with the sign changed to match that of the second argument y.

Application Notes

If arguments abs(ai) ≤ 2 38 for single precision or abs(ai )≤ 2 67 for double precision, they belong to the fast computational path: arguments for which VM provides the best possible performance. Avoid arguments with do not belong to the fast computational path in VM High Accuracy (HA) or Low Accuracy (LA) functions. For arguments which do not belong to the fast computational path you can use VM Enhanced Performance (EP) functions, which are fast on the entire function domain. However, these functions provide lower accuracy.
