The Javas Math.tan() method in Javascript is used to return the tangent of a number. The Math. tan() method returns a numeric value that represents the tangent of the angle. The tan() is a static method of Math, therefore, it is always used as Math.tan(), rather than as a method of a Math object created.
Syntax:
Math.tan(value)
Parameters: This method accepts a single parameter as mentioned above and described below:
- Value is a number representing an angle in radians.
Returns: The Math.tan() method returns the tangent of the given numbers.
Below is an example of the Math tan() Method.
Example 1: In this example, we will pass 0 as a parameter.
Javascript
console.log("When zero is passed as a parameter: " + Math.tan(0)); |
When zero is passed as a parameter: 0
Example 2: When 1 is passed as a parameter.
Javascript
console.log("Result : " + Math.tan(1)); |
Result : 1.5574077246549023
Example 3: When PI is passed as a parameter.
Javascript
console.log("Result : " + Math.tan(Math.PI / 4)); |
Result : 0.9999999999999999
