tangent function
The
tan
function is a trigonometric function. The tan
function returns the tangent of an angle specified in radians.
Syntax:
double tan(n)
Semantics:
- n: The argument n is an expression that resolves to a number (an angle expressed in radians).
- return type: double.
The resultant value is in the range -1 through 1 with the following exceptions:
- 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).
- Returns a NULL value in the following cases:
Example:
SELECT tan(n) FROM Archery
Value of n | Output |
---|---|
0 | 0.0 |
radians(90) | 1.633123935319537E16 |
pi()/4 | 0.9999999999999999 |
