* Flux 0.22.0+

InfluxDB support

`math.yn()` returns the order-n Bessel function of the second kind.

##### Function type signature

```js
(n: int, x: float) => float
```

For more information, see [Function type signatures](/flux/v0/function-type-signatures/).

## Parameters

### n

(Required)
Order number to use in the operation.

### x

(Required)
Value to operate on.

## Examples

* [Return the order-n Bessel function of a value](#return-the-order-n-bessel-function-of-a-value)
* [Use math.yn in map](#use-mathyn-in-map)

### Return the order-n Bessel function of a value

```
import "math"

math.yn(n: 3, x: 3.14)// -0.4866506930335083

```

### Use math.yn in map

```js
import "math"

data
    |> map(fn: (r) => ({_time: r._time, _value: math.yn(n: r.n, x: r.x)}))
```
