    Unhappy Question

    How do I extract the "pow" function and the "sin" function in the linux std libraries so I can see what values are returned, and what parameters are required for the function?

    man sin
    man pow

    Type these commands at your command prompt
    If you dance barefoot on the broken glass of undefined behaviour, you've got to expect the occasional cut.
    If at first you don't succeed, try writing your phone number on the exam paper.

    Thanks!, I didn't know it was that easy. I was thinking it was going to be some big process just to find out a few little things.

    I take it you do a lot of C++ programming, for my job I mostly program GUI's in Java, and I'm also the Web page administrator for my Unit. so I don't do a lot of C++ except for this class I'm taking

    There's a man page for just about anything worth knowing in Linux, it isn't restricted to C++.
    The information given in this message is known to work on FreeBSD 4.8 STABLE.
    *The above statement is false if I was too lazy to test it.*

    If someone finds a mistake, gleaming error or typo, do me a favor...bite me.
    Don't assume that I'm ever entirely serious or entirely joking.
