  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. 
	 
- Floating-point format is used for numeric non-integer results.
