Description: Returns the tangent of a number.
Syntax: TAN(Number)
Number is the angle in radians for which you want the tangent.
Remarks:
If your argument is in degrees, multiply it by PI/180 or use the RADIANS function to convert it to radians.
When used in a RENO flowchart, Number must evaluate to a numerical value. It can include:
Numerical values
Standard operands (+, -, *, /)
Predefined mathematical functions (exp, log, sin, etc.)
References to any analysis workbooks
Example:
TAN(0.785) = 0.99920 [the tangent of 0.785 radians]
