Calculate the tangent of the specified angle.
The angle must be in radians. Multiply by M_PI/180 to convert degrees to radians.
Return value:
the tangent of the specified angle
Example
import standard.C.math
class Main {
function Main() {
var angle;
var radians;
var result;
// Calculate the tangent of 30 degrees.
angle = 30;
radians = angle * M_PI/180;
result = tan(radians);
echo "The tangent of 30 degrees is " + result + ".\n";
// Calculate the arctangent of the previous tangent.
radians = atan(result);
angle = radians * 180/M_PI;
echo "The previous tangent is equivalent to " + ceil(angle) + " degrees.\n";
}
}
Results
The tangent of 30 degrees is 0.57735026918962573.
The previous tangent is equivalent to 30 degrees.
