take the secant of a number in typescript

To take the secant of a number in TypeScript, you can use the built-in Math object's sec method. However, the sec method is not available in TypeScript. Alternatively, you can use the following custom function:

index.ts
function sec(x: number): number {
  return 1 / Math.cos(x);
}

This function takes a number as an argument and returns its secant. It first calculates the cosine of the number using the Math.cos method, and then returns the reciprocal of that value.

You can then call this function, passing in the number whose secant you want to find:

index.ts
console.log(sec(Math.PI/4)); // Outputs 1.4142135623730951

This will output the secant of the number (in this case, pi/4) to the console.
