Sin - the sine of a number system unit

function Sin ( const Number : Extended ) : Extended; Description The Sin function is a mathematical function giving the Sine 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 Cos The Cosine of a number Tan The Tangent of a number Example code : Get the Sine of 30 degrees var float : single; begin // The Sine of 30 degrees = 0.5 float := Sin(PI/6); // = 180/6 = 30 degrees ShowMessage('Sin(PI/6) = '+FloatToStr(float)); end; Show full unit code Sin(PI/6) = 0.5
