The .BR jn () function returns the Bessel function of .I x of the first kind of order .IR n . .P The .BR j0f (), .BR j1f (), and .BR jnf (), functions are versions that take and return .I float values. The .BR j0l (), .BR j1l (), and .BR jnl () functions are versions that take and return .I "long double" values. .SH RETURN VALUE On success, these functions return the appropriate Bessel value of the first kind for .IR x . .P If .I x is a NaN, a NaN is returned. .P If .I x is too large in magnitude, or the result underflows, a range error occurs, and the return value is 0. .SH ERRORS See .BR math_error (7) for information on how to determine whether an error has occurred when calling these functions. .P The following errors can occur: .TP Range error: result underflow, or \fIx\fP is too large in magnitude .I errno is set to .BR ERANGE . .P These functions do not raise exceptions for .BR fetestexcept (3). .\" e.g., j0(1.5e16) .\" This is intentional. .\" See https://www.sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=6805 .SH ATTRIBUTES For an explanation of the terms used in this section, see .BR attributes (7). .TS allbox; lbx lb lb l l l.
