    Trig Funtions

    Is there any possible way to get the Sin, Tan, and Cos in Degrees instead of the VB's default of Radians? Or have a home-made funtions to do all 3 forms? (Grads, Deg, & Rad)

    I haven't found anything through search so that's why I'm asking.

    From looking on the internet, the formula looks something like this:

    VB Code:
    1. MsgBox Sin(6) * (180 / 3.14159)

    Maybe you could try the maths forum...

    deg = 180*rad/pi

    So:

    VB Code:
    1. MsgBox 180 * (Sin(6) / 3.14159)

    You want to transform the input into sin into degrees from radians. Sin just outputs a number in the range [-1,1]

    Actually, it is Sin([x deg]*pi/180). Check it with your calculator:

    x = 180 in this case
    In degrees: Sin(180) = 0
    In radians: Sin(180pi/180) = Sin(pi) = 0

    Azteched was correct
