COS()
Computes the cosine
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Syntax
COS(<nArc>) --> nCosine
Argument
<nArc> Designates a radian value for which the cosine is
determined.
Returns
COS() returns the cosine value specified in <nArc>.
Description
COS() computes the angle cosine measured in radians.
Note
. If you want the values specified in degrees, you can convert
them with the DTOR() function.
Example
Compute the cosine:
? STR(COS(0), 18, 15) // 1.000000000000000
? STR(COS(PI() /4), 18, 15) // 0.707106781186548
? STR(COS(PI() /2), 18, 15) // 0.000000000000000
? STR(COS(PI() *99.5), 18, 15) // 0.000000000000000
? STR(COS(PI() /9), 18, 15) // 0.939692620785908
