The COS function returns the trigonometric cosine of the expression.
Format
|
COS(expr) |
Parameter(s)
|
expr |
Treated as an angle expressed as a numeric value in degrees. Values outside the range of 0 to 360 degrees are interpreted as modulo 360. |
Example
In this application the COS function is used with a standard trigonometric formula to calculate the sin of an angle without using the SIN function.

SINE = SQRT(1 - COS(ANGLE) * COS(ANGLE)) PRINT " THE SINE IS CALCULATED AS : " : SINE |
