Sin(number)
Description
Sin calculates the sine of a number expressing an angle in radians. The required parameter, number, is any numeric expression. The value returned is a double-precision floating-point number that can range from -1 to 1.
To convert degrees to radians, multiply degrees by π/180. To convert radians to degrees, multiply radians by 180/π.
Example
Rem Sin Example 'Sin calculates the sine of a number Print "The sine of 0 is " & Sin(0)
Output
The sine of 0 is 0
