function   FP_sin    
  Related Syntax     Other Library Functions  

Library: Floating Point
Include: omfloat.xin
Returns: Opaque

The sine of a floating point number.

Declaration

  define external float function FP_sin value float x


Purpose

A trigonometric function that calculates, in radians, the sine of the floating point number.

Out-of-range values, as in the case of acos() and asin() for |x| > 1, are returned as "not a number" (NaN).

The following sample shows how to use FP_sin to calculate the value of the sin of PI/2. The result is 1.00.

  include "fpfloat.xin"
  . . .

  local float pi
  set pi to FP_v "3.14159265358979323846"
  output "Sin (pi/2) is " || FP_d (FP_sin (FP_div (pi, FP_v "2" ) ), 2) || "%n"
