C++ program for Cosine Series

Before going to the program for Cosine Series first let us understand what is a Cosine Series?

Cosine Series:

                Cosine Series is a series which is used to find the value of Cos(x).

where, x is the angle in degree which is converted to Radian.

The formula used to express the Cos(x) as Cosine Series is

cosine_series

Expanding the above notation, the formula of Cosine Series is

cosine_series1

For example,

                Let the value of x be 30.

 radian

So, Radian value for 30 degree is 0.52359.

cosine_series2

So, the value of Cos(30) is 0.8660.

Program code for Cosine Series in C:

#include<iostream.h>
#include<iomanip.h>
#include<conio.h>

void main()
{
    int i, n;
    float x, sum=1, t=1;
    clrscr();
    
    cout<<" Enter the value for x : ";
    cin>>x;
    
    cout<<" Enter the value for n : ";
    cin>>n;
    
    x=x*3.14159/180;
    
    /* Loop to calculate the value of Cosine */
    for(i=1;i<=n;i++)
    {
        t=t*(-1)*x*x/(2*i*(2*i-1));
        sum=sum+t;
    }
    
    cout<<" The value of Cos("<<x<<") = "<<setprecision(4)<<sum;
    getch();
}

Note: setprecision(4) is used to set the floating point number upto 4 decimal points.

     iomanip.h is a header file which contains the setprecision() function.

Working:

  • First the computer reads the value of  ‘x’ and ‘n’ from the user.
  • Then ‘x’ is converted to radian value.
  • Then using for loop the value of Cos(x) is calculate.
  • Finally the value of Cos(x) is printed.

Step by Step working of the above Program Code:

Let us assume that the user enters the value of ‘x’ as 45 and ‘n’ as 3.

  1. Converting ‘x’ to radian value

x = x * 3.14159 / 180    (x = 45 * 3.14159 / 180)    So,  x=0.78539

  1. It assigns t=1 and sum=1
  2. It assigns the value of i=1 and the loop continues till the condition of the for loop is true.

3.1.   i<=n    (1<=3)    for loop condition is true

t = (1 * (-1) * 0.78539 * 0.78539)/(2 * 1 * (2 * 1 – 1))

So,  t = – 0.30841

sum = 1 + (- 0.30841)

So,  sum=0.69159

i++

So,  i=2

3.2.   i<=n    (2<=3)    for loop condition is true

t = (- 0.30841 * (-1) * 0.78539 * 0.78539)/(2 * 2 * (2 * 2 – 1))

So,  t = 0.01585

sum = 0.69159 + 0.01585

So,  sum=0.70744

i++

So,  i=3

3.3.   i<=n    (3<=3)    for loop condition is true

t = (0.01585 * (-1) * 0.78539 * 0.78539)/(2 * 3 * (2 * 3 – 1))

So,  t = – 0.000325

sum = 0.70744 + (- 0.000325)

So,  sum=0.70711

i++

So,  i=4

3.4.   i<=n    (4<=3)    for loop condition is false

It comes out of the for loop.

  1. Finally it prints The value of  Cos(0.78539) = 0.7071
  1. Thus program execution is completed.

Output:
