Syntax
Cot(numAngle)
- numAngle
- The angle in radians.
Tip: 2π radians is the same as 360 degrees.
Returned value
This function returns the cotangent of the specified angle.
The function cannot return the actual cotangent of π (i.e., Cot(Pi()) or equivalent), because that is infinite. Instead, the function returns the largest number possible, given the limited precision of the value returned by the function Pi.
Examples
Calculate the cotangent of 1 radian:
Cot(1)
Calculate the cotangent of π/2 radians:
Cot(Pi()/2)
Calculate the cotangent of the value of the project tag MyAngle:
Cot(MyAngle)
