COT and COTP instructions are cotangent instructions for trigonometric functions. When the COT instruction is executed and passes power, the S1 value is COTed and the result [1/tan (S1)] is stored in D1. Input the number of radians in S1. The closer S1 is to a multiple of Pi results in a larger absolute value in D1, which can be expressed as a real number with a range of +/-2.225e--308 to +/-1.79e+308.
Pi is approximately 3.1415926535897 (real number). COT and COTP instructions always pass power. When using the COT and COTP instructions, an error will occur if the variables specified in operands S1 and D1 are not of the same type. Designate the same variable type in all operands S1 and D1.
Refer to the following for specifying a constant.
When operand D1 is a float variable
When 0f (zero and lower case "f") is input, the following values are interpreted as float values.
When operand D1 is a real variable
When 0r (zero and lower case "r") is input, the following values are interpreted as real values.
When calculating data in a specified array
Specify the array using Data [0] or Data [N] (N indicates an integer variable).
When operands S1 and D1 specify the entire array, an error will occur even if the specified variables are the same type.
