C library functions

Library functions are built-in functions that are grouped together and placed in a common location called
library.
Each function here performs a specific operation. We can use this library functions to get the pre-defined
output.
All C standard library functions are declared by using many header files. These library functions are
created at the time of designing the compilers.
We include the header files in our C program by using #include<filename.h>. Whenever the program is
run and executed, the related files are included in the C program.

Header File Functions


Some of the header file functions are as follows −
 stdio.h − It is a standard i/o header file in which Input/output functions are declared
 conio.h − This is a console input/output header file.
 string.h − All string related functions are in this header file.
 stdlib.h − This file contains common functions which are used in the C programs.
 math.h − All functions related to mathematics are in this header file.
 time.h − This file contains time and clock related functions.Built functions in stdio.h

C Math Functions
There is also a list of math functions available, that allows you to perform mathematical
tasks on numbers.

To use them, you must include the math.h header file in your program:

#include <math.h>

1. Square Root
To find the square root of a number, use the sqrt() function:

2. Round a Number
The ceil() function rounds a number upwards to its nearest integer, and
the floor() method rounds a number downwards to its nearest integer, and returns the
result:
3 Power
The pow() function returns the value of x to the power of y (xy):

4. Other Math Functions


A list of other popular math functions (from the <math.h> library) can be found in the table
below:

Function Description

abs(x) Returns the absolute value of x

acos(x) Returns the arccosine of x

asin(x) Returns the arcsine of x

atan(x) Returns the arctangent of x

cbrt(x) Returns the cube root of x

cos(x) Returns the cosine of x

exp(x) Returns the value of Ex

sin(x) Returns the sine of x (x is in radians)

tan(x) Returns the tangent of an angle
