cosdcosine function (degrees)

Syntax   cosd (r : real) : real

Description   The cosd function is used to find the cosine of an angle given in degrees. For example, cosd (0) is 1.

Example   This program prints out the cosine of 30, 60, 90, up to 360 degrees.

        for i : 1 .. 12
            const angle := i * 30
            put "Cos of ", angle, " is ", cosd (angle)
        end for
