Some sources define the Fresnel integrals using t<sup>2</sup> for the argument of the sine and cosine. To get these functions, multiply the computed integrals by `√(π/2)` and multiply the argument `x` by `√(2/π)`.

<section class="usage">

## Usage

```javascript
var fresnel = require( '@stdlib/math/base/special/fresnel' );
```

#### fresnel( \[out,] x )

Simultaneously computes the [Fresnel integrals][fresnel-integral] S(x) and C(x).

```javascript
var v = fresnel( 0.0 );
// returns [ ~0.0, ~0.0 ]

v = fresnel( 1.0 );
// returns [ ~0.438, ~0.780 ]

v = fresnel( Infinity );
// returns [ ~0.5, ~0.5 ]

v = fresnel( -Infinity );
// returns [ ~-0.5, ~-0.5 ]

v = fresnel( NaN );
// returns [ NaN, NaN ]
```

By default, the function returns the S(x) and C(x) as a two-element `array`. To avoid extra memory allocation, the function supports providing an output (destination) object.

```javascript
var Float64Array = require( '@stdlib/array/float64' );

var out = new Float64Array( 2 );

var v = fresnel( out, 0.0 );
// returns <Float64Array>[ ~0.0, ~0.0 ]

var bool = ( v === out );
// returns true
```

## Examples

<!-- eslint no-undef: "error" -->

```javascript
var linspace = require( '@stdlib/array/linspace' );
var fresnel = require( '@stdlib/math/base/special/fresnel' );

var x = linspace( 0.0, 10.0, 100 );
var i;

for ( i = 0; i < x.length; i++ ) {
    console.log( fresnel( x[ i ] ) );
}
```
