Java .sin()

The Math.sin() method returns the trigonometric sine of an angle argument, given in radians.

Syntax

Math.sin(angle)

The angle parameter is expressed in radians.

• The result is in the range [-1, 1].
• If the angle is NaN or infinity, NaN is returned.

Example

The following example demonstrates the application of .sin() method:

// Check.java
public class Check {
  public static void main(String args[]) {
    // convert degrees to radians
    double pi = Math.PI;
    double degree = 60;
    double radian = degree * pi/180;
    System.out.println( "Sine of 60 degrees is " + Math.sin(radian));
  }
}
