llSin

float llSin(float Theta)

Returns the sine of Theta (Theta in radians).

Parameters

Theta (float)

Technical Details

Return Type: float
Energy: 10

Due to IEEE 754 floating-point precision, llSin(PI) returns -8.742278E-8 (hex: 0xB3BBBD2E) instead of 0.0. The error is cumulative with multiples of PI. For example, llSin(100000.0*PI) returns 0.015890 when the result should be 0.0.

Examples

// Touch the object with this script in it to see the sine of random numbers!
default
{
    touch_start(integer num)
    {
        float r = llFrand(TWO_PI);
        llOwnerSay("The sine of " + (string)r + " in radians or " + (string)(r * RAD_TO_DEG) + " in degrees is " + (string)llSin(r));
    }
}
