llTan

float llTan(float Theta)

Returns the tangent of Theta (Theta in radians).

Parameters

Theta (float)

Technical Details

Return Type: float
Energy: 10

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

Caveats

Due to IEEE754 floating-point representation, llTan(PI_BY_TWO) returns -22877332 (hex: 0xCBAE8A4A) instead of infinity.
