Gets the tangent of a number
result = Tan( number )
number
The argument number is measured in radians (not degrees). The required number argument can be any valid numeric expression. If number is an uninitialized variable, zero is returned.

Parameters
number
the angle (in radians)
Return Value
Description
The argument number is measured in radians (not degrees). The required number argument can be any valid numeric expression. If number is an uninitialized variable, zero is returned.
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 tangent of a" ; a; " degree angle is"; Tan ( r )
Sleep
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 tangent of a" ; a; " degree angle is"; Tan ( r )
Sleep
The output would look like:
Please enter an angle in degrees: 75 The tangent of a 75 degree angle Is 3.732050807568878
