In a right angled triangle tan(val) = Opposite / Adjacent where val is one of the three angles.
NOTE This function takes a value in radians not degrees.
NOTE: Pi/2, (3 pi/2), -pi/2 and a vast number of other values will error with this function due to their returning infinity, a graph representation of this would produce asymptotes at these values.
tan(val);
Argument | Type | Description |
---|---|---|
val | Real | The angle (in radians) to return the tangent of. |
val = tan( pi );
This will set val to 0.
