After getting some weird results in a function I did a test case for the tan function and I am getting different results.

This is from Monkey

Local testtan:Float = Tan(10.0)
DebugLog(testtan)
' 0.17632697522640228

This line is from C#

float testtan = (float)System.Math.Tan(10.0f);
// testtan	0,6483608	float

Any ideas for this or suggestions are welcomed.

Monkey uses degrees for trig functions. Most languages (including Monkey 2 I think) use radians.

So if you use 10.0 * 180.0 / PI in the Monkey version, you should get about the same result.

Oh I see I made silly mistake, there is the Tanr function. Thanks :)
