Ruby's Math.sin in TypeScript

How to use

Install via yarn add locutus and import: import { sin } from 'locutus/ruby/Math/sin'.

Or with CommonJS: const { sin } = require('locutus/ruby/Math/sin')

Use a bundler that supports tree-shaking so you only ship the functions you actually use. Vite, webpack, Rollup, and Parcel all handle this. For server-side use this is less of a concern.

Examples

These examples are extracted from test cases that automatically verify our functions against their native counterparts.

#	code	expected result
1	sin(0)	0
2	sin(1)	0.8414709848078965

Ruby nil and TypeScript/JavaScript undefined

Ruby's nil and TypeScript/JavaScript undefined are semantically equivalent—both represent "no value" or "nothing here". However, they serialize differently: nil becomes null in JSON, while undefined is typically omitted or becomes undefined.

Locutus Ruby functions return undefined (idiomatic TypeScript/JavaScript) where Ruby would return nil. Our parity tests treat these as equivalent when verifying against native Ruby.

Notes

• Precision may vary across platforms

  // parity verified: Ruby 3.3
  //     original by: Kevin van Zonneveld (https://kvz.io)
  //          note 1: Precision may vary across platforms
  //       example 1: sin(0)
  //       returns 1: 0
  //       example 2: sin(1)
  //       returns 2: 0.8414709848078965

  return Math.sin(x)
}

export function sin(x) {
  //      discuss at: https://locutus.io/ruby/Math/sin/

  return Math.sin(x)
}
