SDL_tan(3)

✨ SDL_tan ✨

okay bestie, welcome to the SDL_tan(3) page from the SDL3 FUNCTIONS crew 💖 we're doing trigonometry today and honestly? it's giving math class but make it cute 🎀

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

SDL_tan — compute the tangent of x 💅

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

#include <SDL3/SDL_stdinc.h>

double SDL_tan(double x);

like, that's the whole thing. one include, one function, one double going in and one double coming out 🌈

---

💜 DESCRIPTION 💜

okay so here's the vibe check on your domains and ranges, no cap:

• Domain: -INF <= x <= INF
• Range: -INF <= y <= INF

this function operates on double-precision floating point values. so if you're out here with single-precision floats, use SDL_tanf instead, iykyk 👑

and like, important lore alert 🚨: this function may use a different approximation across different versions, platforms and configurations. i.e, it can return a different value given the same input on different machines or operating systems, or if SDL is updated. so basically don't be out here expecting bit-for-bit identical results across the whole multiverse, bestie 😭 it's not that kind of function.

---

🎀 FUNCTION PARAMETERS 🎀

• x — floating point value, in radians. yes radians, not degrees, don't embarrass us 🙈

---

⭐ RETURN VALUE ⭐

returns the tangent of x. that's it, that's the tea 🍓

---

🔥 THREAD SAFETY 🔥

it is safe to call this function from any thread. multitasking queen behavior, we love to see it 👑

---

🌈 AVAILABILITY 🌈

this function is available since SDL 3.2.0. so if you're on something older… not me, not the vibe 💀

and that's a wrap on SDL_tan(3) from Simple Directmedia Layer, rocking SDL 3.4.18 💖 stay radiant, stay in radians, and slay ✨🧚
