Result of Mathf.Sin
If I calculate Sin on calc I get one answer When I use Mathf.Sin for the same number in unity I get another answer. What causes the difference?
Could it be a degrees/radians thing? $$anonymous$$athf.Sin expects radians so if your "calc" expects degrees and you literally put the same numbers in you'll get totally different results. Except at zero.
Angles in mathematics and pretty much all computer languages are measured in radians and not in degree. Most intefaces for humans work with degrees (0 to 360 or -180 to 180). Mathematically radians actually make more sense. An angle in radians go from 0 to 2*PI (or -PI to PI).
That's all.
"An angle in radians go from 0 to 2*PI." Some additional info: This works well because, an arc (circle segment) of X radians, and r radius, has a length that is exactly equal to the simple expression: X*r. No additional terms or factors are required.
