Computes the sine of an input value for an angle measured in radians. The value can be a Decimal or Integer literal or a reference to a column containing numeric values.
In the above, the sine of angle A is computed as the following:
sin(A) = x/z
The cosecant of angle A is 1/sin(A), or:
csc(A) = 1/sin(A) = z/x
You can convert from degrees to radians. For more information, see RADIANS Function.
Wrangle vs. SQL: This function is part of Wrangle
, a proprietary data transformation language. Wrangle
is not SQL. For more information, see Wrangle Language.
Basic Usage
Numeric literal example:
round(sin(radians(30)),3)
Output: Returns the computation of the sine of a 30-degree angle, which is converted to radians before being passed to the SIN function. The output value is rounded to three decimals: 0.500.
Column reference example:
sin(X)
Output: Returns the sine of the radians values in X column.
Syntax and Arguments
sin(numeric_value)
| Argument | Required? | Data Type | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| numeric_value | Y | string, decimal, or integer | Name of column, Decimal or Integer literal, or function returning those types to apply to the function |
For more information on syntax standards, see Language Documentation Syntax Notes.
numeric_value
Name of the column, Integer or Decimal literal, or function returning that data type to apply to the function.
- Missing input values generate missing results.
- Literal numeric values should not be quoted. Quoted values are treated as strings.
- Multiple columns and wildcards are not supported.
Usage Notes:
| Required? | Data Type | Example Value |
