VB.NET Cos Example – Code Sample Syntax

VB.NET Cos Example – Code Sample Syntax

Purpose: – Illustrates using .

Purpose:
converts an angle measured in radians to a cosine. (you can convert
the radians to degrees by multiplying them by Math.PI/180)

Syntax:
Cos(doublenumber)

Parameters Description
doublenumber double percision floating point
number representing an angle measured in radians.

Result Data Type Description
double represents the cosine of the angle specified in
parameter1. If parameter1 is equal to NaN,
NegativeInfinity, or PositiveInfinity,
NaN (Not a Number) is returned.

Step 1: Click Visual Basic to Cut-n-paste code into clsCos.vb

Imports System.Math
Public Class clsCos
 
    Public Sub Main()

        Console.WriteLine("Example #1: 	Cos(expression)")
 
        Console.WriteLine(Cos(90)) ' Returns -0.4480736162917
 
        'write blank line to make output easier to read
        Console.WriteLine()
 
        Console.WriteLine("Example #2: 	Cos(expression)")
 
        Console.WriteLine(Cos(-3.4)) ' Returns -0.966798192579461
        'write blank line to make output easier to read
        Console.WriteLine()
 
        Console.WriteLine("Example #3: 	Cos(expression)")
 
        Dim Integer3 As Integer = Cos(-0)
 
        Console.WriteLine(Cos(-0)) ' Returns 1
 
        'Prevent console from closing before you press enter
        Console.ReadLine()
 
    End Sub
 
End Class

Step 2: Click Visual Basic to Cut-n-paste code into Module1.vb

Module Module1
 
    Sub Main()
 
 
        Dim myclsCos As New clsCos
        myclsCos.Main()
 
 
 
    End Sub
 
End Module

Prerequistes:

  1. Install Visual Basic (Express or Standard Edition)
  2. Install SQL Server Express
  3. Download Northwind and pubs Database
  4. Attach Northwind Database to Databases in Sql Express
  5. Attach pubs Database to Databases in Sql Express

Notes:

  • Console Application is used to simplify things, but Windows Forms or Web Forms could also be used
  • You can build a library of syntax examples by using same project over and over and just commenting out what you do not want to execute in Module1.vb

Instructions:
VB.NET Syntax Functions Cos

  1. Use Visual Basic 2010 Express or Standard Edition
