Math.sin()
The Math.sin()
function returns the sine of a number.
Syntax
Math.sin(x)
Parameters
x
-
A number (given in radians).
Return value
The sine of the given number.
Description
The Math.sin()
method returns a numeric value between -1 and 1, which
represents the sine of the angle given in radians.
Because sin()
is a static method of Math
, you always use it
as Math.sin()
, rather than as a method of a Math
object you
created (Math
is not a constructor).
Examples
Using Math.sin()
Math.sin(0); // 0
Math.sin(1); // 0.8414709848078965
