The sine functions return the sine of a numeric value that represents an angle in either degrees or radians.

Syntax:

Invocation names:

SIND           SINR
SINEDEG        SINERAD
SINE-DEGREES   SINE-RADIANS

Parameters:

(value)

Specifies the numeric value representing the angle, in degrees or radians, whose sine is calculated.

Example:

This example calculates the sine of -60 (in degrees):

compute 'sine' = sind(-60)

  SINE = -8.6602
