Sine

Compute the sine of a number.

Installation

npm install @stdlib/math-base-special-sin

Alternatively,

To load the package in a website via a script tag without installation and bundlers, use the ES Module available on the esm branch (see README).
If you are using Deno, visit the deno branch (see README for usage intructions).
For use in Observable, or in browser/node environments, use the Universal Module Definition (UMD) build available on the umd branch (see README).

The branches.md file summarizes the available branches and displays a diagram illustrating their relationships.

To view installation and usage instructions specific to each branch build, be sure to explicitly navigate to the respective README files on each branch, as linked to above.

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 ] ) );
}

C APIs

Usage

#include "stdlib/math/base/special/sin.h"

stdlib_base_sin( x )

Computes the sine of a number (in radians).

double y = stdlib_base_sin( 3.141592653589793 / 2.0 );
// returns ~1.0

The function accepts the following arguments:

x: [in] double input value.

double stdlib_base_sin( const double x );

Examples

#include "stdlib/math/base/special/sin.h"
#include <stdio.h>

int main( void ) {
    const double x[] = { 0.0, 0.523, 0.785, 1.047, 3.14 };

    double y;
    int i;
    for ( i = 0; i < 5; i++ ) {
        y = stdlib_base_sin( x[ i ] );
        printf( "sin(%lf) = %lf\n", x[ i ], y );
    }
}

Notice

This package is part of stdlib, a standard library for JavaScript and Node.js, with an emphasis on numerical and scientific computing. The library provides a collection of robust, high performance libraries for mathematics, statistics, streams, utilities, and more.
