To take the sine of a number in Ruby, you can use the Math.sin method, which is part of Ruby’s standard library. Here’s an example:
main.rb40 chars4 lines
In this example, we assign the value of 3.14 to the variable x, then call the Math.sin method on x and assign the result to the variable sin_x. Finally, we use puts to print the value of sin_x to the console.
The Math.sin method takes an argument in radians and returns the sine of that angle. Note that Math.sin returns a float, so the result will be a decimal value.
You can also use the trigonometry methods Math.cos and Math.tan to find the cosine and tangent of an angle, respectively.
