NAME

       fixcos  - Fixed point cosine of binary angles. Allegro game programming
       library.

SYNOPSIS

       #include <allegro.h>

       fixed fixcos(fixed x);

DESCRIPTION

       This function finds the cosine of a value using  a  lookup  table.  The
       input value must be a fixed point binary angle. Example:

          fixed angle;
          float result;

          /* Set the binary angle to 45 degrees. */
          angle = itofix(32);
          /* The cosine of 45 degrees is about 0.7071. */
          result = fixtof(fixcos(angle));
          ASSERT(result > 0.7 && result < 0.71);

RETURN VALUE

       Returns  the  cosine  of  a fixed point binary format angle. The return
       value will be in radians.
