This function evaluates the sine for the argument in degrees.

Function Return Value

SINDG — Function value.   (Output)

Required Arguments

X — Argument in degrees for which the sine is desired.   (Input)

FORTRAN 90 Interface

Generic:                              SINDG (X)

Specific:                             The specific interface names are S_SINDG and D_SINDG.

FORTRAN 77 Interface

Single:                                SINDG (X)

Double:                              The double precision function name is DSINDG.

Description

To avoid unduly inaccurate results, the magnitude of x must not be so large that the integer part fills more than the computer word. Under no circumstances is the magnitude of x allowed to be larger than the largest representable integer because complete loss of accuracy occurs in this case.

Example

In this example, sin 45° is computed and printed.

 

      USE SINDG_INT

      USE UMACH_INT

 

      IMPLICIT   NONE

!                                 Declare variables

      INTEGER    NOUT

      REAL       VALUE, X

!                                 Compute

      X     = 45.0

      VALUE = SINDG(X)

!                                 Print the results

      CALL UMACH (2, NOUT)

      WRITE (NOUT,99999) X, VALUE

99999 FORMAT (' SIN(', F6.3, ' deg) = ', F6.3)

      END

Output

 

SIN(45.000 deg) =  0.707.
