MySQL - SIN() Function

---

---

The SIN() function of MySQL is used to calculate the trigonometric sine value of a given number. The sine of an angle is defined as the ratio of the opposite side of the given angle to the hypotenuse (the longest side of the triangle) in a right-angled triangle.

This function accepts an integer value (in radians) as an argument and returns the corresponding sine value.

Syntax

Following is the syntax of MySQL SIN() function −

SIN(x);

Parameters

This function takes an integer value in radians as a parameter.

Return Value

This function returns the sine of the given angle as a numeric value.

Example

In the following query, we are using the MySQL SIN() function to calculate the sine of 8 radians −

SELECT SIN(8) As Result;

Output

The output for the query above is produced as given below −

Result
0.9893582466233818

Example

We can also pass PI() function as a value to this function as shown below. The value of PI() function is 3.14 −

SELECT SIN(PI()) As Result;

Output

This will produce the following result −

Result
1.2246467991473532e-16

Example

Following is another example of this function, where we are calculating the sine of -16 radians −

SELECT SIN(-16) As Result;

Output

The output is displayed as below −

Result
0.2879033166650653

Example

Here, we are calculating the sine of 0 radians −

SELECT SIN(0) As Result;

Output

The sine value for 0 is 0 −

Result
0
