Examples

Code Editor (JavaScript)

var π = Math.PI;
print(ee.Array([-π / 4]).tan());  // [Almost -1]
print(ee.Array([0]).tan());  // [0]
print(ee.Array([π / 4]).tan());  // [Almost 1]

var start = -π / 3;
var end = π / 3;
var points = ee.Array(ee.List.sequence(start, end, null, 50));
var values = points.tan();

// Plot tan() defined above.
var chart = ui.Chart.array.values(values, 0, points)
    .setOptions({
      viewWindow: {min: start, max: end},
      hAxis: {
        title: 'x',
        viewWindowMode: 'maximized',
        ticks: [
          {v: start, f: '-π / 3'},
          {v: 0, f: 0},
