SIN(number) Function

Calculates the sine of the argument “number”. Returns a numeric value greater than or equal to -1 and less than or equal to 1. Accepts exactly one argument. The argument “number” contains a numeric value, which represents the angle in radians. The sine is a continuo's function, therefore, the argument can take any numerical value positive, negative or zero. For example:

=SIN(0) Returns 0.
=SIN(PI()) Returns 0.
=SIN(PI()/2) Returns 1.
