SYNOPSIS

#include <lcmath.h>

double j0(double x);

DESCRIPTION

j0 computes the Bessel function of the first kind with order 0 of the value x .

RETURN VALUE

j0 returns the Bessel function of the first kind with order 0 of the argument x , provided that this value is computable.

DIAGNOSTICS

If the magnitude of x is too large (|x| > = 6.7465e9), j0 returns 0.0. In this case, the message "total loss of significance" is also written to stderr (the standard error file).

If an error occurs in j0 , the _matherr routine is called. You supply your own version of _matherr to suppress the diagnostic message or modify the value returned.

EXAMPLE

This example computes the Bessel function of the first kind, of order 0 at x = 5 using j0 :

#include <stdio.h>
#include <lcmath.h>

main()
{
   double y;
   y = j0(5.);
   printf("j0(5.) = %lf\n", y);
}
