Tan

The function Tan calculates the tangent of an angle.

Syntax

Tan(numAngle)

Tan ( numAngle )

numAngle

The angle in radians.

Tip: 2π radians is the same as 360 degrees.

Returned value

This function returns the tangent of the specified angle.

The function cannot return the actual tangent of π/2 (that is, Tan(Pi()/2) or equivalent), because that is infinite. Instead, the function returns the largest number possible, given the limited precision of the value returned by the function Pi.

Examples

Calculate the tangent of 1 radian:

Tan(1)

Calculate the tangent of π radians:

Tan(Pi())

Calculate the tangent of the value of the project tag MyAngle:

Tan(MyAngle)
