VB.NET Atan Example – Code Sample Syntax

VB.NET Atan Example – Code Sample Syntax

Purpose: – Illustrates using .

Purpose:
converts a tangent to radians of an angle. The function
takes a double data type number and returns a double value
that repesents the radians of the angle for that tangent.
(you can convert the radians to degrees by multiplying
them by Math.PI/180)

Syntax:
Atan(double)

Parameters Description
double The expression represents a tangent that
is to be converted into radians of an angle.
Any valid System.Double data type number between -1 and +1
if number < -1 or > 1, NaN is returned – NaN stands for Not a Number

Result Data Type Description
double represents the radians of the angle of the
tangent that was specified as the input parameter.

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
