sin[]

Returns the sine of a number in degrees.

The sin[] function in math is a function that returns the sine of a number. The sine of an angle is a value that ranges from -1 to 1, and it is defined as the ratio of the side of a right triangle opposite the angle to the hypotenuse. The input to the function is an angle in degrees, and the output will be a value between -1 and 1.

For example, sin[0] would return 0 and sin[90] would return 1.

It is also common to use trigonometric functions in engineering and physics, such as calculating the projection of a force or velocity on a certain axis.

Syntax

sin[x]

Parameters

x Number representing degrees.
Return Value Sine of x degrees.

Examples

#<result> = sin[0]
(print,#<result>)

result: 0


#<result> = sin[45]
(print,#<result>)

result: 0.707107


#<result> = sin[90]
(print,#<result>)

result: 1
