cos()

Calculates the cosine of an angle.

cos() is useful for many geometric tasks in creative coding. The values returned oscillate between -1 and 1 as the input angle increases. cos() calculates the cosine of an angle, using radians by default, or according to if angleMode() setting (RADIANS or DEGREES).

Examples

Syntax

Parameters

angle
Number:

the angle, in radians by default, or according to if angleMode() setting (RADIANS or DEGREES).
