    <value>
)

Parameters
  • value: Angle in radians whose sine you want to calculate.
Returned value

The SIN function returns a real number corresponding to the sine of the indicated angle.

Additional Information

This function requires that the angle it receives as a parameter be expressed in radians. If the available angle is in sexagesimal degrees, it will have to be multiplied by PI()/ 180 or use the RADIANS function to convert it to radians.
