## Usage
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```javascript
|
||
|
|
var haversin = require( '@stdlib/math/base/special/haversin' );
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
#### haversin( x )
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Computes the half-value [versed sine][versed-sine] (in radians).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```javascript
|
||
|
|
var v = haversin( 0.0 );
|
||
|
|
// returns 0.0
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
v = haversin( 3.141592653589793/2.0 );
|
||
|
|
// returns ~0.5
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
v = haversin( -3.141592653589793/6.0 );
|
||
|
|
// returns ~0.06699
|
||
|
|
