Cosine xx
Sine xx
Tangent xx
ArcCosine xx
ArcSine xx
ArcTangent xx
Cos
Sin
Tan
ACos
ASin
ATan
Return cosine of angle xx in degrees.
Return sine of angle xx in degrees.
Return tangent of angle xx in degrees.
Return the angle (range 0-180) whose cosine is xx.
Return the angle (range 0-180) whose sine is xx.
Return the angle (range 0-180) whose tangent is xx.

Note

  1. Product and Sum can be contained in parenthesis. Eg (Sum 1 2 3) returns 6.
  2. SquareRoot XX is mathematically the same as Power XX 0.5
  3. Use Minus for primitives requiring two parameters. Eg SetXY 55 Minus 44 not SetXY 55 - 44. This will not work, as evaluated to 11.
  4. Both Modulo arguments need to be integers.
  5. Use SetDigits to set the number of significant digits.
