ee.Number.sin

Computes the sine of the input in radians.

Usage	Returns
Number.sin()	Number

Argument	Type	Details
this: input	Number	The input value.

Examples

Code Editor (JavaScript)

// Input angle in radians.
print('Sine of 0', ee.Number(0).sin());  // 0
print('Sine of π/2', ee.Number(Math.PI/2).sin());  // 1
print('Sine of 3π/2', ee.Number(3*Math.PI/2).sin());  // -1

// Convert degrees to radians.
var degrees = 45;
var radians = degrees * (Math.PI/180);
print('Sine of 45 degrees', ee.Number(radians).sin());  // 0.707106781

# Input angle in radians.
print('Sine of 0:', ee.Number(0).sin().getInfo())  # 0
print('Sine of π/2:', ee.Number(math.pi/2).sin().getInfo())  # 1
print('Sine of 3π/2:', ee.Number(3*math.pi/2).sin().getInfo())  # -1

# Convert degrees to radians.
degrees = 45
radians = degrees * (math.pi/180)
