Description |
|---|---|
number |
Angle, in radians, for which to calculate the cosine |
Usage
The range of the result is -1 to 1. To convert degrees to radians, multiply degrees by p/180. To convert radians to degrees, multiply radians by 180/p.
Note: Because the function uses floating point arithmetic, it returns a small number (such as 6.12323399574E-017) for angles that must produce 0. To test for a 0 value, check whether the value is less than 0.0000000000001. |
Example
