The {{tan}} circular function template returns the tangent of , where is a real number expressing a circular angle in radians.

Note that you may also use the tan operator (used within the {{#expr: }} parser function extension, e.g. {{#expr: tan (pi/6) }}) which also takes a circular angle in radians as argument.

Usage

{{tan|a real number}}

Valid input

A real number (expressing a circular angle in radians) as argument.

Examples

Code

Currently (using built-in error message)

{{#expr: tan ({{{1}}}) }}

instead of (using custom error message)

{{ifnum| {{{1|NAN}}}
| {{#expr: tan ({{{1}}}) }}
| {{error| Tan error: Argument must be a real number (circular angle in radians) }}
}}
