Question by Muera_Sangre · Feb 09, 2014 at 05:30 PM · sincos

sin error invee sin error

I have a angle : float 180. I've converted it to rad angle * Mathf.DegToRad; Im trying to get the sin, cos and InvSin. cos is fine -1 but sin is wrong Im getting -8.742278E-08, and inverse is giving me an error. the code is as follows id appreciate any help as i am new to this. Thanks

  function MatrixOp (theta : float, axis : String){
 
     var op = mO();
     
     print(theta);
     //setup
     op.angleInRad = theta * Mathf.Deg2Rad;
     print("angleInRad " + op.angleInRad);
     
     op.cosQ = Mathf.Cos(op.angleInRad);
     print("cos " + op.cosQ);
 //returns right answer
     
     op.sinQ = Mathf.Sin(op.angleInRad);
     print("sin " + op.sinQ);
 //returns wrong answer    
     op.inverseSinAngle = Mathf.Asin(op.angleInRad);
     print("inversSin " + op.inverseSinAngle);
 
 //returns error 
 }

The Sine of 180 degrees is 0. What you are getting is '-.00000008742278' which is really near zero and the kind of value you will get given the imprecision of floating point math. There are lots of posts on UA about the imprecision of floating point math.
