tan()

Description

Calculates the tangent of an angle (in radians). The result will be between negative infinity and infinity.

Syntax

tan(rad)

Parameter Values

  • rad: The angle in radians. Allowed data types: float.

Return Values

  • The tangent of the angle. Data type: double.

Example Code

void setup() { Serial.begin(9600); for (int angle = 0; angle <= 180; angle += 15) { float angle_rad = angle * M_PI / 180; float tan_result = tan(angle_rad); Serial.print("tan("); Serial.print(angle); Serial.print("°) = "); Serial.println(tan_result); } } void loop() { }

The result in Serial Monitor:
