Trigonometry isn't working properly

-----------------------------------

Why does my java code not work like my turing one does?

import hsa.Console;
import java.lang.Thread;
import java.awt.*;
import java.lang.Math;

public class Hook
{
    Console c;
    public Hook ()
    {
        c = new Console ();
    }


    double x, y;
    long x2, y2;
    public void trig ()
    {
        while (true)
        {
            for (int z = 0 ; z < 360 ; z++)
            {
                x = Math.sin (z);
                y = Math.cos (z);
                x2 = Math.round (Math.toDegrees (x));
                y2 = Math.round (Math.toDegrees (y));
                c.clear ();
                c.setColor (Color.green);
                c.fillOval (Math.round (x2) + 100, Math.round (y2) + 100, 10, 10);
                try
                {
                    Thread.sleep (100);
                }
                catch (InterruptedException e)
                {
                }
            }
        }
    }


    public static void main (String

var mx, my, mb : int
setscreen ("offscreenonly")
proc drawcircle (thickness, xradius, yradius, col : int)
    loop
        for x : 1 .. 360
            Mouse.Where (mx, my, mb)
            drawfilloval (floor (sind (x) * xradius) + mx, floor (cosd (x) * yradius) + my, thickness, thickness, col)
            delay (2)
            View.Update
            cls
        end for
    end loop
end drawcircle
drawcircle (5, 30, 30, blue)

RE:Trigonometry isn\'t working properly

-----------------------------------

because one uses sin while the other uses sind.

I don't think Math.toDegrees does what you think it does.

RE:Trigonometry isn\'t working properly

-----------------------------------

so i should just multiply it by 57.3 ?
ok so that is what Math.toDegrees does

What? Read the docs for the version for Java that you are using.

I haven't read the Java docs but I'm assuming that sin and the other trig functions in Java take in radian angles. This means that you have to call toRadians on your angle to calculate the sine.

So basically:
x = Math.sin (Math.toRadians(z));
