Trigonometric functions

Function
Name

sin()

Calculate the sine of a value

sinh()

Calculate the hyperbolic sine of a value

asinh()

Calculate the hyperbolic arcsine of a value

cos()

Calculate the cosine of a value

cosh()

Calculate the hyperbolic cosine of a

acosh()

Calculate the hyperbolic arccos of a value

tan()

Calculate the tangent of a value

tanh()

Calculate the hyperbolic tangent of a value

atanh()

Calculate the hyperbolic arctangent of a value

Trigonometric functions take a value in radians by default.

If you want to use degrees, specify this in the parameter, or append "d" to the function name:

sin(90 degrees) = 1.0

sind(90) = 1.0

Inverse trigonometric functions

Function
Name

asin()

Calculate the inverse sine of a value

acos()

Calculate the inverse cosine of a value

atan()

Calculate the inverse tangent of a value

Inverse trigonometric functions return a value in radians by default.

If you want to use degrees, specify this in the parameter, or append "d" to the function name:

asin(0.5 degrees) = 30º

asind(0.5) = 30º
