TAN()
Computes the tangent of a radian value
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Syntax
TAN(<nArc>) --> nTangent
Argument
<nArc> Designates the radian value to determine as a tangent.
Returns
TAN() returns the tangent for the <nArc> specified value.
Description
TAN() determines the tangent of a value specified in radians.
Note
. If you want to represent the value in degrees, convert it with
the DTOR() function.
Example
Some tangent calculations:
? STR(TAN(0), 18, 15) // 1.000000000000000
? STR(TAN(PI() /4), 18, 15) // 1.000000000000000
? STR(TAN(PI() /9), 18, 15) // 0.363970234266202
