Description
The argument angle is measured in radians (not degrees).
The value returned by this function is undefined for values of angle with an absolute value of 2 ^ 63 or greater.
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 tangent of a" ; a; " degree angle is"; Tan ( r )
