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:
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.
Numeric literal example:
| D lang syntax |
|---|
| RawWrangle | true |
|---|
| Type | ref |
|---|
| showNote | true |
|---|
| WrangleText | derive type:single value: round(sin(radians(30)),3) |
|---|
|
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:
| D lang syntax |
|---|
| RawWrangle | true |
|---|
| Type | ref |
|---|
| showNote | true |
|---|
| WrangleText | derive type:single value: sin(X) as: 'sinX' |
|---|
|
sin(X) |
Output: Returns the sine of the radians values in X column.

| 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 |
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.
