BASIC PROGRAMMING

NUMERIC FUNCTIONS: SQR, INT

SQR calculates the square root of a number. The function INT finds the greatest integer less than or equal to a number. Therefore INT discards the decimal parts of a number.

Example:

SQR(9) is 3

INT(2.7) is 2

The terms in the parentheses can be numbers (as above), variables, or expressions.

ABS FUNCTION

Its full form is absolute. It is used to find the absolute value of a number. Absolute value of a number means the number without a sign.

Examples:

ABS(+3.4) = 3.4

ABS(- 3.4) = 3.4

RND FUNCTION

RND is a special function that gives us a random number between 0 and 1. This can be used in dice games to make it more interesting.

COS, SIN, TAN, ATN FUNCTIONS

COS (Cosine)

SIN(Sine)

TAN(Tangent)

ATN(Arctangent, inverse of TAN)

Example:

CONST pi =3.14

PRINT COS(pi/4)

PRINT SIN(pi/4)…….etc.

MOD FUNCTION

It means remainder. This function returns the remainder after division

Example:

16 MOD 5 = 1

30 MOD 5 = 0

EXP FUNCTION

The EXP function is used to calculate the exponential function i.e raise e to some power, where value of e is 2.13. The general form of exponential is EXP(X). e.g :

EXP(4) = 54.59815

EXP(-5) = 6.73794 E-03

LOG FUNCTION

LOG(X) gives the natural logarithm of X
