| tand | tangent function (degrees) |
| Syntax | tand ( r : real ) : real
|
| Description | The tand function is used to find the tangent of an angle given in degrees. For example, tand (45) is 1.
|
| Example | This program prints out the tangent of 0, 30, 60, 90, up to 360 degrees.
for i : 0 .. 12
const angle := i * 30
put "Tan of ", angle, " is ", tand ( angle )
end for
|
| Execute | |
| Details | An argument to tan of 90, 270, etc. may result in an overflow (and halt of the program) as the result is technically ¥. (It may not cause an overflow due to rounding, in which case the result will simply be a very large number.) |
