  • Passing null returns 0.

Examples

The code below displays sin() usage.


/*
 * Store results in an array.
 */ 
var sinValues = new Array(5);
sinValues[0] = Math.sin(-1);
sinValues[1] = Math.sin(0);
sinValues[2] = Math.sin('0.75');
sinValues[3] = Math.sin('a string');
sinValues[4] = Math.sin();
sinValues[5] = Math.sin(null);
alert(sinValues);
