## SIND Sine Degrees Function

Section: Mathematical Functions

### Usage

Computes the sine of the argument, but takes the argument in degrees instead of radians (as is the case for `cos`). The syntax for its use is

       y = sind(x)

### Examples

The sine of 45 degrees should be `sqrt(2)/2`

    --> sind(45)

    ans =

        0.7071

    -->
    quit

and the sine of `30` degrees should be 0.5:

    --> sind(30)

    ans =

        0.5000

    -->
    quit
