math.Tan()

The Tan() function is an inbuilt function of the math package which is used to get the tangent of the given radian value.

It accepts a parameter (x) and returns the tangent of the radian argument x.

Syntax:

func Tan(x float64) float64

Parameter(s):

• x : The radian value whose tangent is to be found.

Return Value:

The return type of Tan() function is a float64, it returns the tangent of the given radian value.

Special cases:

• Tan(±0) = ±0
  If the parameter is ±0, the function returns the same value (±0).
• Tan(±Inf) = NaN
  If the parameter is ±Inf, the function returns NaN.
• Tan(NaN) = NaN
  If the parameter is NaN, the function returns the same value (NaN).

Example 1:

// Golang program to demonstrate the
// example of math.Tan() Function

package main

import (
	"fmt"
	"math"
)

func main() {
	fmt.Println(math.Tan(1))
	fmt.Println(math.Tan(0.23))
	fmt.Println(math.Tan(-1))
	fmt.Println(math.Tan(-0.23))
	fmt.Println(math.Tan(-1.23))
	fmt.Println(math.Tan(1.23))
	fmt.Println(math.Tan(math.Pi))
	fmt.Println(math.Tan(0))
	fmt.Println(math.Tan(math.Inf(1)))
	fmt.Println(math.Tan(math.Inf(-1)))
	fmt.Println(math.Tan(math.NaN()))
}

Output:

1.557407724654902
0.23414336235146527

Example 2:

// Golang program to demonstrate the
// example of math.Tan() Function

package main

import (
	"fmt"
	"math"
)

func main() {
	var x float64
	var TanX float64

	x = 0
	TanX = math.Tan(x)
	fmt.Printf("Tangent of %.2f is %.2f\n", x, TanX)

	x = 0.23
	TanX = math.Tan(x)
	fmt.Printf("Tangent of %.2f is %.2f\n", x, TanX)

	x = 1
	TanX = math.Tan(x)
	fmt.Printf("Tangent of %.2f is %.2f\n", x, TanX)

	x = -0.23
	TanX = math.Tan(x)
	fmt.Printf("Tangent of %.2f is %.2f\n", x, TanX)

	x = -2
	TanX = math.Tan(x)
	fmt.Printf("Tangent of %.2f is %.2f\n", x, TanX)

	x = math.Pi
	TanX = math.Tan(x)
	fmt.Printf("Tangent of %.2f is %.2f\n", x, TanX)
}

Output:

Tangent of 0.00 is 0.00
Tangent of 0.23 is 0.23
Tangent of 1.00 is 1.56
Tangent of -0.23 is -0.23
Tangent of -2.00 is 2.19
Tangent of 3.14 is -0.00
