double comp_ellint_2( double arg ); double comp_ellint_2( float arg ); double comp_ellint_2( long double arg ); float comp_ellint_2f( float arg ); long double comp_ellint_2l( long double arg ); | (1) |
double comp_ellint_2( IntegralType arg ); | (2) |

1) Computes the complete elliptic integral of the second kind of `arg`.
4) A set of overloads or a function template accepting an argument of any integral type. Equivalent to (1) after casting the argument to double.

As all special functions, `comp_ellint_2` is only guaranteed to be available in `<cmath>` if `__STDCPP_MATH_SPEC_FUNCS__` is defined by the implementation to a value at least 201003L and if the user defines `__STDCPP_WANT_MATH_SPEC_FUNCS__` before including any standard library headers.

### Parameters

arg | - | value of a floating-point or integral type

### Return value

If no errors occur, value of the complete elliptic integral of the second kind of `arg`, that is ellint_2(arg,π/2), is returned.

### Error handling

Errors may be reported as specified in math_errhandling

- If the argument is NaN, NaN is returned and domain error is not reported
- If |arg|>1, a domain error may occur

### Notes

Implementations that do not support TR 29124 but support TR 19768, provide this function in the header `tr1/cmath` and namespace `std::tr1`

An implementation of this function is also available in boost.math

### Example

(works as shown with gcc 6.0)

Run this code

    #define __STDCPP_WANT_MATH_SPEC_FUNCS__ 1
    #include <cmath>
    #include <iostream>
    int main()
    {
        double hpi = std::acos(-1)/2;
        std::cout << "E(0) = " << std::comp_ellint_2(0) << '\n'
                  << "π/2 = " << hpi << '\n'
                  << "E(0.5) = " << std::comp_ellint_2(0.5) << '\n'
                  << "E(0.5, π/2) = " << std::ellint_2(0.5, hpi) << '\n';
    }

Output:

    E(0) = 1.5708
    π/2 = 1.5708
    E(0.5) = 1.46746
    E(0.5, π/2) = 1.46746
