SIN
Returns the sine of an angle
Syntax:
Usage:
result = Sin( angle )
Parameters:
angle
the angle (in radians)
Return Value:
Returns the sine of the argument angle as a Double within the range of -1.0 to 1.0.
Description:
The argument angle is measured in radians (not degrees).
The value returned by this function is undefined for values of angle with an absolute value of 2 ^ 63 or greater.
Sin can be overloaded as operator to accept user-defined types.

Examples:
Const PI As Double = 3.1415926535897932
Dim a As Double
Dim r As Double
Input "Please enter an angle in degrees: ", a
r = a * PI / 180 'Convert the degrees to Radians
Print ""
Print "The sine of a" ; a; " degree angle is"; Sin ( r )
Sleep
Dim a As Double
Dim r As Double
Input "Please enter an angle in degrees: ", a
r = a * PI / 180 'Convert the degrees to Radians
Print ""
Print "The sine of a" ; a; " degree angle is"; Sin ( r )
Sleep
The output would look like:
Please enter an angle in degrees: 30 The sine of a 30 degree angle Is 0.5
