SIN real-valued function SIN real-valued function Syntax SIN (value) Function Return the trigonometric sine of a given angle. Usage Considerations The angle parameter must be measured in degrees. The parameter is interpreted as modulo 360 degrees, but excessively large values may cause a loss of accuracy in the returned value. Parameter value Real-valued expression that defines the angular value to be considered. Details Returns the trigonometric sine of the argument, which is assumed to have units of degrees. The resulting value is always in the range of -1.0 to +1.0, inclusive. Examples SIN(0.123) ;Returns 2.146753E-03 SIN(-5.462) ;Returns -0.09518556 SIN(30) ;Returns .5 NOTE:
TYPE, PROMPT, and similar instructions output the results of the above examples as single-precision values. However, they are actually stored and manipulated as double- precision values. The LISTR monitor command displays real values to full precision. eV+Language Reference Guide, v2.x, 18319-000 Rev A Page 477
