TAN Function

TAN(a)

Returns the tangent of a.

Parameters

a(REAL)

The input value in radians.

Return Value

Returns a REAL.

Remarks

Notice a is in radians. To convert a value from degrees to radians, multiply the degrees value by π/180. The RMC has an M_PI constant for π.

Examples

TAN(M_PI / 4) returns 1.0

TAN(45 * M_PI / 180) returns 1.0
