Cot(angle)
Description
Use the Cot function to calculate the cotangent of the given angle (adjacent / opposite, that is, the reciprocal of the tangent).
Parameters
|
Field or Control |
Definition |
|---|---|
| angle |
A value in radians, excluding 0. If the input value is 0, you receive an error message at runtime (âDecimal arithmetic error occurred. (2,110)â). Adjust your code to provide a valid input value. |
Note:
In theory, all values
of
angle
such that
mod(
angle
, pi)
equals 0 are not valid for this function, because inputs approaching
such values produce results that tend toward infinity. In practice,
however, no computer system can represent such values exactly. Thus,
for example, the statement
Cot(Radians(180))
produces a number close to the largest value PeopleCode can represent,
rather than an error.
Returns
A real number.
