COS( ) Function
Returns the cosine of a numeric expression.
COS(nExpression)
Return Values
Numeric
Parameters
- nExpression
Specifies a numeric expression whose cosine COS( ) returns. nExpression can be any value.
Remarks
COS( ) returns the cosine of nExpression in radians. Use DTOR( ) to convert an angle from degrees to radians. The number of decimal places that COS( ) returns can be specified with SET DECIMALS. The value COS( ) returns ranges between –1 and 1.
Example
CLEAR
? COS(0) && Displays 1.00
? COS(PI( )) && Displays -1.00
? COS(DTOR(180)) && Displays -1.00
STORE PI( ) * 3 TO gnAngle
? COS(gnAngle) && Displays -1.00
