This trigonometric function returns the tangent of an angle.
TAN(nExpression)
Return Values
Numeric
Parameters
- nExpression
Specifies the angle in radians for which TAN( ) returns the tangent. To convert an angle from degrees to radians, use DTOR( ). The number of decimal places returned by TAN( ) can be specified with SET DECIMALS.
Example
CLEAR
? TAN(0) && Displays 0.00
? TAN(PI( )/4) && Displays 1.00
? TAN(PI( )*3/4) && Displays -1.00
