Note For functions acos and asin, <number> is an expression that yields a number in the
range -1 to 1.
Note The formula for converting degrees to radians is radians = degrees * (pi/180).
Function Returned by Function
acos(<number>) Arccosine of a number in radians.
asin(<number>) Arcsine of a number in radians.
atan(<number>) Arctangent of a number in radians.
atan2(<number1>,<number2>) Arctangent of <number1> divided by <number2> in
radians. The signs of both arguments are used to
determine the quadrant of the returned value.
cos(<angle>) Cosine of an angle measured in radians.
cosh(<angle>) Hyperbolic cosine of an angle measured in radians.
pi() Ratio of the circumference of a circle to its diameter.
sin(<angle>) Sine of an angle measured in radians.
sinh(<angle>) Hyperbolic sine of an angle measured in radians.
tan(<angle>) Tangent of an angle measured in radians.
tanh(<angle>) Hyperbolic tangent of an angle measured in radians.
Function Returned by Function
average(<list>) Average of a list of numbers (sum divided by the number of items).
max(<list>) Highest value from two or more numbers.
min(<list>) Lowest value from two or more numbers.
sum(<list>) Sum of a list of numbers.
Function Returned by Function
FindTextIndex(<search>,
<text>)
Index of the first occurrence of the <search> text in the
specified text. If the text is not found, a -1 is returned.
Lowercase(<text>) Copy of the text converted to lower case using the casing rules
of the current culture.
