cos()

Purpose

Returns the cosine of the supplied argument.

Description

This is the cosine function which returns the ratio of the side adjacent to an acute angle in a right-angled triangle to the hypotenuse (longest side)

Syntax

cosine = cos( angle )

Arguments

angle The acute angle adjacent to the side of a right-angled triangle.

cosine The ratio of the adjacent side to the hypotenuse.

Example

clear()
centre = { gWidth() / 2, gHeight() / 2 }
for angle = 0 to 360 loop
    // Pick random colour
    col = { random( 101 ) / 100, random( 101 ) / 100, random( 101 ) / 100, 1.0 }
    point = { 600 * cos( angle ) + centre.x, 300 * sin( angle ) + centre.y }
    line( centre, point, col )
repeat
update()
// Wait 3 seconds
sleep( 3 )
