Purpose: Calculates the trigonometric sine of a numeric value.
Format: SIN( value )
Notes: value must be a constant or a numeric variable name. value is an angle specified in radians. To convert radians to degrees, multiply by 57.296 . To convert degrees to radians, multiply by 0.017453 . (See the discussion of radians under the COS statement.)
Example:
# This script will calculate
the sine
# of a user inputted
angle in degrees.
input deg " Enter Angle in degrees"
# Convert degrees to
radians
rad = deg * 0.017453
# Perform Sine Calculation
sine_rad = sin(rad)
# Convert back to degrees
sine_deg = sine_rad
* 57.296
# Print out results
print "The Sine in degrees
is " sine_deg
print "The Sine in radians
is " sine_rad
