Returns the cosine of a number
Syntax
Usage
result = Cos( number )
Parameters
number
the angle (in radians)
Return Value
Returns the cosine of the argument
number as a
Double within the range of -1 to 1.
Description
The argument
number is measured in
radians (not
degrees). The required
number argument can be any valid numeric expression.
Example
Const PI As Double = 3.1415926535897932
Dim a As Double
Dim r As Double
Input "Please enter an angle in degrees: ", a
r = a * PI / 180 'Convert the degrees to Radians
Print ""
Print "The cosine of a" ; a; " degree angle is"; Cos ( r )
Sleep
Output:
Please enter an angle in degrees: 30
The cosine of a 30 degree angle Is 0.8660254037844387
