Sin Method
.NET Framework Class Library
Math..::.Sin Method

Returns the sine of the specified angle.

Namespace:  System
Assembly:  mscorlib (in mscorlib.dll)
 Syntax
Visual Basic (Declaration) 
Public Shared Function Sin ( _
    a As Double _
) As Double
Visual Basic (Usage) 
Dim a As Double
Dim returnValue As Double

returnValue = Math.Sin(a)
C# 
public static double Sin(
    double a
)
Visual C++ 
public:
static double Sin(
    double a
)
JScript 
public static function Sin(
    a : double
) : double

Parameters

a
Type: System..::.Double
An angle, measured in radians.

Return Value

Type: System..::.Double
The sine of a. If a is equal to NaN, NegativeInfinity, or PositiveInfinity, this method returns NaN.
 Remarks

The angle, a, must be in radians. Multiply by Math..::.PI/180 to convert degrees to radians.

Acceptable values of a range from approximately -9223372036854775295 to approximately 9223372036854775295. For values outside of this range, the Sin method returns a unchanged rather than throwing an exception.
 Examples

The following example uses Sin to evaluate certain trigonometric identities for selected angles.

This function returns 1.22460635382238E-16 for Math.PI, which should be 0. Math.Cos has a bug too. Returns 1.22460635382238E-16 for Math.PI/2, instead of 0. And the Math.Tan is ***ed up too. It returns 1.63317787283838E+16 for Math.PI/2 instead of double.NaN or infinity. Be carefull when using these functions.
