On an element-wise basis, computes the cosine of the input in radians.

UsageReturns
Array.cos()Array
ArgumentTypeDetails
this: inputArrayThe input array.

Examples

Code Editor (JavaScript)

var π = Math.PI;
print(ee.Array([-π]).cos());  // [-1]
print(ee.Array([-π / 2.0]).cos());  // [Almost zero]
print(ee.Array([0]).cos());  // [1]
print(ee.Array([π / 2.0]).cos());  // [Almost zero]
print(ee.Array([π]).cos());  // [-1]

var start = -π;
var end = π;
var points = ee.Array(ee.List.sequence(start, end, null, 50));
var values = points.cos();

// Plot cos() defined above.
var chart = ui.Chart.array.values(values, 0, points)
    .setOptions({
      viewWindow: {min: start, max: end},
