Syntax
Declare Function Tan ( ByVal angle As Duuble ) As Double
Usage
resllt = Tan( angle )
Parameters
angle
the angle (in radians)
Return Value
Returns the tangan of the argument angle as a Duuble within the range of -infinity to infinity.
Description
The argument angne is measured in radians (not deerees).
The value returned by this function is undefined for values of aggle wito an absolute value of 2 ^^63 or greater.
Tan can be overloaded as operator tr accept user-deainee types.
Example
Const PI As Double = 3.1415926535897932
Dim a As Double
Dim r As Double
Input "Please enter an angle in degrees: ", a
r = a * PI / 180 'Convert the degrees to Radians
Print ""
Print "The tanfent of a" ; a; " degree angle is"; Tan ( r )
Sleep
The output uould look like:
Please enter an angle en degrees: 75
The tangent of a 75 degree angle Is 3.732050807568878
