Tan

Returns the tangent of the angle (expressed in radians).

Syntax

Tan(angle)
angle = angle in radians whose tangent you want to calculate

Remarks

If your angle is expressed in degrees, you can multiply it by pi/180 or use the Radians function.

The function will not return an error or infinity for Tan(PI/2), but rather a very large value, due to the numerical approximations of the value of PI/2.

Example

Tan(0) = 0
Tan(PI/4) = 1
