Sin
 
Returns the sine of a number

Syntax
Usage

result = Sin( number )

Parameters

number
the angle (in radians)

Return Value

Returns the sine of the argument number as a Double within the range of -1 to 1.

Description

The argument number is measured in radians (not degrees). The required number argument can be any valid numeric expression. If number is an uninitialized variable, zero is returned.

Example

Const PI As Double = 3.1415926535897932
Dim a As Double
Dim r As Double
Input "Please enter an angle in degrees: ", a
r = a * PI / 180    'Convert the degrees to Radians
Print ""
Print "The sine of a" ; a; " degree angle is"; Sin ( r ) 
Sleep


The output would look like:
Please enter an angle in degrees: 30
The sine of a 30 degree angle Is 0.5
