# Special functions

[TOC]

## `legendre` - Calculate Legendre polynomials

### Status

Experimental

### Description

Computes the value of the n-th Legendre polynomial at a specified point.
Currently only 64 bit floating point is supported.

This is an `elemental` function.

### Syntax

`result = ` [[stdlib_specialfunctions(module):legendre(interface)]] ` (n, x)`

### Arguments

`n`: Shall be a scalar of type `real(real64)`. 

`x`: Shall be a scalar or array (this function is elemental) of type `real(real64)`. 

### Return value

The function result will be the value of the `n`-th Legendre polynomial, evaluated at `x`.



## `dlegendre` - Calculate first derivatives of Legendre polynomials

### Status

Experimental

### Description

Computes the value of the first derivative of the n-th Legendre polynomial at a specified point.
Currently only 64 bit floating point is supported.

This is an `elemental` function.

### Syntax

`result = ` [[stdlib_specialfunctions(module):dlegendre(interface)]] ` (n, x)`

### Arguments

`n`: Shall be a scalar of type `real(real64)`. 

`x`: Shall be a scalar or array (this function is elemental) of type `real(real64)`. 

### Return value

The function result will be the value of the first derivative of the `n`-th Legendre polynomial, evaluated at `x`.
