COTAND (The GNU Fortran Compiler)

### 8.84 `COTAND` — Cotangent function, degrees ¶

Synopsis:

  `RESULT = COTAND(X)`

Description:

  `COTAND(X)` computes the cotangent of X in degrees. Equivalent to `COSD(x)` divided by `SIND(x)`, or `1 / TAND(x)`.

Class:

  Elemental function

Arguments:

  X | The type shall be `REAL`.

Return value:

  The return value has same type and kind as X, and its value is in degrees.

Example:

      program test_cotand
        real(8) :: x = 0.165_8
        x = cotand(x)
      end program test_cotand

Specific names:

  Name | Argument | Return type | Standard
  --- | --- | --- | ---
  `COTAND(X)` | `REAL(4) X` | `REAL(4)` | GNU extension
  `DCOTAND(X)` | `REAL(8) X` | `REAL(8)` | GNU extension

Standard:

  GNU extension.

  This function is for compatibility only and should be avoided in favor of standard constructs wherever possible.
