TAN

The TAN function returns the tangent of X .

Calling Sequence

Result = TAN( X )

Arguments

X

The angle for which the tangent is desired, specified in radians. If X is double-precision floating-point, the result is of the same type. Complex values are not allowed. All other types are converted to single-precision floating-point and yield floating-point results. If X is an array, the result has the same structure, with each element containing the tangent of the corresponding element of X .

Examples

T = TAN(0.5) ; Find the tangent of 0.5 radians and store the result in the variable T.
