Description

The $$TAN^XLFMTH extrinsic function returns the tangent of a number (TAN x = SIN x/COS x), with radians input.

Format

  $$TAN^XLFMTH(x[,n])

Input Parameters

x:

(required) Number in radians for which you want the tangent.
n:

(optional) The precision for the function. Precision means the detail of the result, in terms of number of digits.

Output

returns:

Returns the tangent of radians input number.
