VBScript Sin Function

Returns the sine of an angle.

Syntax: VBScript Sin Function

Sin(number)

Arguments: VBScript Sin Function

number

Any valid numeric expression that expresses an angle in radians.

Remarks: VBScript Sin Function

The Sin function takes an angle and returns the ratio of two sides of a right triangle. The ratio is the length of the side opposite the angle divided by the length of the hypotenuse. The result lies in the range -1 to 1.

To convert degrees to radians, multiply degrees by pi/180. To convert radians to degrees, multiply radians by 180/pi.

The following example uses the Sin function to return the sine of an angle:

Dim MyAngle, MyCosecant

MyAngle = 1.3 ' Define angle in radians.

MyCosecant = 1 / Sin(MyAngle) ' Calculate cosecant.
