# Haversine > Compute the half-value [versed sine][versed-sine].
The half-value [versed sine][versed-sine] is defined as
Haversed sine.
## 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 ```
## Examples ```javascript var linspace = require( '@stdlib/array/linspace' ); var TWO_PI = require( '@stdlib/constants/float64/two-pi' ); var haversin = require( '@stdlib/math/base/special/haversin' ); var x = linspace( 0.0, TWO_PI, 100 ); var i; for ( i = 0; i < x.length; i++ ) { console.log( haversin( x[ i ] ) ); } ```
