sin(+Number, -Result)

Evaluates the trigonometric function sin(Number) and unifies the resulting value with Result.
Number
A number.
Result
Output: float or breal.

Description

This predicate is used by the ECLiPSe compiler to expand evaluable arithmetic expressions. So the call to sin(Number, Result) is equivalent to 
    Result is sin(Number)
which should be preferred for portability.

In coroutining mode, if Number is uninstantiated, the call to sin/2 is delayed until this variable is instantiated.

Modes and Determinism

Exceptions

(4) instantiation fault
Number is not instantiated (non-coroutining mode only).
(24) number expected
Number is not of a numeric type.

Examples

Success:
    Result is sin(1.5708).		% gives Result = 1.0
    Result is sin(-1.5708, Result).     % gives Result = -1.0
    Result is sin(0, Result).           % gives Result = 0.0
