SIND Function

Purpose

Returns a floating-point value that is the sine of the specified angle expressed in degrees.

Syntax

SIND(x)

Parameters

x is a floating-point value representing the sine of an angle.

Description

The SIND function returns the sine of the angle x expressed in degrees. The result has the same data type as x such that -1 ≤ SIND(x) ≤ 1.

Examples

SIND(30.0)      /* returns 0.5 */

Restrictions

An SIND operation on floating-point decimal data is actually performed using the floating-point binary operation. Thus, the range of the operands and the result of the operation are limited to the ranges for floating-point binary numbers.
