Retrieves the tangent of a complex number.
Syntax
_Dcomplex ctan(
   _Dcomplex z
);
_Fcomplex ctan(
   _Fcomplex z
);  // C++ only
_Lcomplex ctan(
   _Lcomplex z
);  // C++ only
_Fcomplex ctanf(
   _Fcomplex z
);
_Lcomplex ctanl(
   _Lcomplex z
);
Parameters
z
A complex number that represents the angle, in radians.
Return value
The tangent of z.
| Input | SEH exception | _matherrexception | 
|---|---|---|
| ± INF, QNaN, IND | none | _DOMAIN | 
| ± INF ( tan,tanf) | INVALID | _DOMAIN | 
Remarks
Because C++ allows overloading, you can call overloads of ctan that take and return _Fcomplex and _Lcomplex values. In a C program, ctan always takes and returns a _Dcomplex value.
Requirements
| Routine | C header | C++ header | 
|---|---|---|
| ctan,ctanf,ctanl | <complex.h> | <ccomplex> |
