Scala - Math tan() Method

The Scala Math tan() method returns trigonometric tangent of an angle (angle should be in radians). In special cases it returns the following:

If the argument is NaN or an infinity, then the result is NaN.

In the graph below, tan(x) vs x is plotted.

Syntax

def tan(x: Double): Double = scala.lang.Math.tan(x)

Parameters

`x`	Specify the angle in radian.

Return Value

Returns the trigonometric tangent of the argument.

Exception

NA.

Example:

In the example below, tan() method is used to find out the trigonometric tangent of the given angles.

import scala.math._

object MainObject {
  def main(args: Array[String]) {
    println(s"tan(Pi/6) = ${tan(Pi/6)}");   
    println(s"tan(Pi/4) = ${tan(Pi/4)}"); 
    println(s"tan(Pi/3) = ${tan(Pi/3)}"); 
    println(s"tan(Pi/2) = ${tan(Pi/2)}"); 
    println(s"tan(Double.NaN) = ${tan(Double.NaN)}"); 
    println(s"tan(2.0/0.0) = ${tan(2.0/0.0)}");
    println("tan(Double.PositiveInfinity) = "
            + tan(Double.PositiveInfinity));
  }
}

The output of the above code will be:

tan(Pi/6) = 0.5773502691896257
tan(Pi/4) = 0.9999999999999999
tan(Pi/3) = 1.7320508075688767
tan(Pi/2) = 1.633123935319537E16
tan(Double.NaN) = NaN
tan(2.0/0.0) = NaN
tan(Double.PositiveInfinity) = NaN
