Sine

Compute the sine of a number.

Usage

var sin = require( '@stdlib/math/base/special/sin' );

sin( x )

Computes the sine of a number (in radians).

var v = sin( 0.0 );
// returns ~0.0

v = sin( 3.141592653589793/2.0 );
// returns ~1.0

v = sin( -3.141592653589793/6.0 );
// returns ~-0.5

Examples

var linspace = require( '@stdlib/array/base/linspace' );
var TWO_PI = require( '@stdlib/constants/float64/two-pi' );
var sin = require( '@stdlib/math/base/special/sin' );

var x = linspace( 0.0, TWO_PI, 100 );

var i;
for ( i = 0; i < x.length; i++ ) {
    console.log( sin( x[ i ] ) );
}
