tan


Description

In a right angled triangle tan(val) = Opposite / Adjacent where val is one of the three angles.

NOTE:The value returned is in radians, not degrees.
NOTE:Pi/2, (3 pi/2), -pi/2 and a vast number of other values will error with this function due to their returning infinity, a graph representation of this would produce asymptotes at these values.


Syntax:

tan(val);


Argument Description
val The angle (in radians) to return the tangent of.


Returns:

Real


Example:

val = tan( pi );

This will set val to 0.
