General Format
Arguments
- Argument-1 must be class numeric.
Note: Conversion factors from degrees and Gon (grad) to radians are specified in the section
Trigonometric Functions.
Returned Values
- The returned value is the approximation of the cosine of argument-1 and is greater than or equal to -1 and less than or equal to +1.
