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

Expanding the above notation, the formula of Cosine Series is

For example,

                Let the value of x be 30.

 

So, Radian value for 30 degree is 0.52359.

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

2. It assigns t=1 and sum=1
3. 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.

4. Finally it prints The value of  Cos(0.78539) = 0.7071

5. Thus program execution is completed.
