Returns the cosine of an angle, in radians.
Cos(number)
| Parameter |
Description |
|---|---|
| number |
Angle, in radians, for which you want the cosine |
The range of the result is -1 to 1.
To convert degrees to radians, multiply degrees by π/180. To convert radians to degrees, multiply radians by 180/π.
