cotangent function

The cot function is a trigonometric function. The cot function returns the cotangent of an angle specified in radians.

Syntax:

double cot(n)

Semantics:

  • n: The argument n is an expression that resolves to a number (an angle expressed in radians).
  • return type: double.
    • Returns a NULL value in the following cases:
      • n resolves to a NULL value
      • n does not resolve to a number
    • Returns NaN if n resolves to NaN or infinity(positive/negative).
Example:
SELECT cot(n) FROM Archery
Value of n Output
0 Infinity
