## Usage
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```javascript
|
||
|
|
var tan = require( '@stdlib/math/base/special/tan' );
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
#### tan( x )
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Evaluates the [tangent][tangent] of a `number` (in radians).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```javascript
|
||
|
|
var v = tan( 0.0 );
|
||
|
|
// returns ~0.0
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
v = tan( -3.141592653589793/4.0 );
|
||
|
|
// returns ~-1.0
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
v = tan( 3.141592653589793/4.0 );
|
||
|
|
// returns ~1.0
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
v = tan( NaN );
|
||
|
|
// returns NaN
|
||
|
|
```
