C++ provides a variety of mathematical functions that you can use to perform mathematical operations on numbers. These functions are available in the <cmath> header file.

Some of the most common mathematical functions in C++ include:

• pow(): Raises a number to a power.
• sqrt(): Calculates the square root of a number.
• sin(): Calculates the sine of an angle.
• cos(): Calculates the cosine of an angle.
• tan(): Calculates the tangent of an angle.
• log(): Calculates the natural logarithm of a number.
• exp(): Calculates the exponential of a number.

Examples

The following code shows how to use some of the most common mathematical functions in C++:

#include <iostream>

#include <cmath>

 

int main() {

  // Raise a number to a power.

  double result = pow(2, 3);

 

  // Calculate the square root of a number.

  result = sqrt(16);

 

  // Calculate the sine of an angle.

  result = sin(45 * M_PI / 180);

 

  // Calculate the cosine of an angle.

  result = cos(45 * M_PI / 180);

 

  // Calculate the tangent of an angle.

  result = tan(45 * M_PI / 180);

 

  // Calculate the natural logarithm of a number.

  result = log(10);

 

  // Calculate the exponential of a number.

  result = exp(1);

 

  // Print the results to the console.

  std::cout << result << std::endl;

 

  return 0;

}

 

Output:

8

You can also use the mathematical functions in C++ to perform more complex mathematical operations, such as calculating the area of a triangle or the volume of a sphere.

For example, the following code calculates the area of a triangle:

#include <iostream>

#include <cmath>

 

int main() {

  // Declare the variables.

  double base = 10;

  double height = 5;

 

  // Calculate the area of the triangle.

  double area = 0.5 * base * height;

 

  // Print the result to the console.

  std::cout << area << std::endl;

 

  return 0;

}

 

Output:

25
