SIN

SIN() is a numeric function that returns the trigonometric sine value of a specified angle in radians.

The syntax of the SIN() function is as follows.

The SIN() function requires one argument:

x:  A positive or a negative angle (or an expression that evaluates to an angle).

The example below will use the SIN() function with a positive angle as the argument.

It will return the sine value of 5.

The following example shows the SIN() function with a negative angle as the argument.

The output will be as follows.

The following example shows the SIN() function with a fractional value as the argument.

The output will be as follows.

The SIN() function can also include an expression, as shown in the example below:

You will get the following output:

In the following example, we will combine SIN() function with CREATE TABLE query to obtain the sine values of a specific column.

1) Create a new table named sineTable containing the initialValue column. Input some values with the negative and positive angles into the column.

2) Run the query below to get the output of a sine value:

3) The final result will have the initialValue column with the source value and the sinValue column with their calculated sine values.
