SIND Sine Degrees Function

Section: Mathematical Functions

Usage

Computes the sine of the argument, but takes the argument in degrees instead of radians (as is the case for cos). The syntax for its use is
   y = sind(x)

Examples

The sine of 45 degrees should be sqrt(2)/2
--> sind(45)
ans = 
  <double>  - size: [1 1]
 0.7071067811865475  

and the sine of 30 degrees should be 0.5:

--> sind(30)
ans = 
  <double>  - size: [1 1]
 0.49999999999999994
