The “sin” Function in R

• Package: Base R (No specific package, it’s a built-in function)

• Purpose: To compute the sine of a numeric vector, interpreting the input as angles in radians.

• General Class: Mathematical Computation

• Required Argument(s):

• x: A numeric vector representing angles in radians for which the sine is to be computed.

• Notable Optional Arguments:

• None

• Example:

• # Example usage
  angles_in_radians <- c(0, pi/2, pi, 3*pi/2, 2*pi)
  
  # Compute the sine
  sin_values <- sin(angles_in_radians)
  
  print(sin_values)

• In this example, sin is a built-in function in base R, and it is used to compute the sine of a numeric vector representing angles in radians. The x argument is the required numeric vector for which the sine is calculated. There are no notable optional arguments for this function. The result is a numeric vector where each element represents the sine of the corresponding angle in the input vector.
