SIN

Returns the sine of expression.

Syntax

SIN ( expression )

Example

This example illustrates the SIN trigonometric function:

select sin(45 * pi()/180) 'Sine of 45 degrees' from MYMATH; SINE OF 45 DEGREES ------------------ 0.707106781186547 1 record selected

Notes

SIN takes an angle (expression) 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.
expression specifies an angle in radians.
expression must evaluate to an approximate numeric data type.
To convert degrees to radians, multiply degrees by Pi/180. To convert radians to degrees, multiply radians by 180/Pi.
