Description: This function returns the trigonometric cosine of an angle in radians.
Returns: Numeric
Usage: Script or Steady State
Format: Cos(Angle)
Parameters: Angle { numeric } { required } { no default: }
Any numeric expression giving the angle in radians.
Comments: The returned value is a number in the range of -1.00 to +1.00. To convert an angle from degrees to radians multiply by π / 180 or (approximately) 0.0174533.
Example:
x = Cos(180 * π / 180);
The value of x will be - 1.
