# Cos {#openvino_docs_ops_arithmetic_Cos_1} **Versioned name**: *Cos-1* **Category**: *Arithmetic unary* **Short description**: *Cos* performs element-wise cosine operation on a given input tensor. **Detailed description**: *Cos* performs element-wise cosine operation on a given input tensor, based on the following mathematical formula: \f[ a_{i} = cos(a_{i}) \f] **Attributes**: *Cos* operation has no attributes. **Inputs** * **1**: A tensor of type *T* and arbitrary shape. **Required.** **Outputs** * **1**: The result of element-wise *Cos* operation. A tensor of type *T* and the same shape as the input tensor. **Types** * *T*: any numeric type. **Example** ```xml 256 56 256 56 ```
