Cos - the cosine of a number system unit

function Cos ( const Number : Extended ) : Extended; Description The Cos function is a mathematical function giving the Cosine value of a Number value given radians. PI radians = 180 degrees Notes The System unit supports only the following angular functions: ArcTan Sin Cos Related commands ArcCos The Arc Cosine of a number, returned in radians ArcSin The Arc Sine of a number, returned in radians ArcTan The Arc Tangent of a number, returned in radians Sin The Sine of a number Tan The Tangent of a number Example code : Get the Cosine of 60 degrees var float : single; begin // The Sine of 60 degrees = 0.5 float := Cos(PI/3); // = 180/3 = 60 degrees ShowMessage('Cos(PI/3) = '+FloatToStr(float)); end; Show full unit code Cos(PI/3) = 0.5
