Maybe soemthing else is messing things up
try this

#include <math.h>
int main ( int argc, char *argv[] )
{
  int a;
  float cos_table[360], sin_table[360];
  float pi = 3.14159;

  for(a = 0; a < 360 ; a++)
  {
    cos_table[a]=cos((float)a/180 * pi);
    sin_table[a]=sin((float)a/180 * pi);
  }
  for(a = 0; a < 360 ; a+=45)
  {
      printf("cos(%d) = %.2f   sin(%d) = %.2f\n",a,cos_table[a],a,sin_table[a]);

  }
  return(0);
}
