j0, j1, jn — Bessel functions of the first kind
#include <math.h> double j0(doublex); double j1(doublex); double jn(intn, doublex);
Thej0(),j1(), andjn() functions shall compute Bessel functions ofx of the first kind of orders 0, 1, andn, respectively. An application wishing to check for error situations should seterrno to zero and callfeclearexcept(FE_ALL_EXCEPT) before calling these functions. On return, iferrno is non-zero orfetestexcept(FE_INVALID | FE_DIVBYZERO | FE_OVERFLOW | FE_UNDERFLOW) is non-zero, an error has occurred.
Upon successful completion, these functions shall return the relevant Bessel value ofx of the first kind. If thex argument is too large in magnitude, or the correct result would cause underflow, 0 shall be returned and a range error may occur. Ifx is NaN, a NaN shall be returned.
These functions may fail if: Range Error The value ofx was too large in magnitude, or an underflow occurred. If the integer expression (math_errhandling & MATH_ERRNO) is non-zero, thenerrno shall be set to[ERANGE]. If the integer expression (math_errhandling & MATH_ERREXCEPT) is non-zero, then the underflow floating-point exception shall be raised. No other errors shall occur.The following sections are informative.
None.
On error, the expressions (math_errhandling & MATH_ERRNO) and (math_errhandling & MATH_ERREXCEPT) are independent of each other, but at least one of them must be non-zero.
None.
None.
