Parameter	Description
number	Angle, in radians. To convert an angle from degrees to radians, use the PI function to multiply the degrees by pi/180.

Example

<h3>Sin Example</h3>

<!--- output its Sin value --->
<cfif IsDefined("FORM.SinNum")>
  <cfif IsNumeric(FORM.SinNum)>
    Sin(<cfoutput>#FORM.SinNum#</cfoutput>) = 
     <cfoutput>#Sin(FORM.sinNum)# Degrees = 
      #Evaluate(Sin(FORM.sinNum) * PI()/180)# Radians
     </cfoutput>
  <cfelse>
<!--- if it is empty, output an error message --->
    <h4>Please enter an angle for which you want the Sine value</h4>
  </cfif>
</cfif>
