====== Math Functions ======

===== Sin, Cos, Tan =====

Return sine, cos ine, and tangent values. Cubloc uses radians as units.
Use a Single for most precise results.

<code xbasic>
A=Sin B         ' Return the sine of B.
A=Cos B         ' Return the cosine of B.
A=Tan B         ' Return the tangent of B.
</code>

===== ASin, ACos, ATan =====

Return arc sine, arc cosine, and arc tangent values. Cubloc uses radians as
units. Use a Single for the most precise results.

<code xbasic>
A=ASin B        ' Return the arc sine of B.
A=ACos B        ' Return the arc cosine of B.
A=ATan B        ' Return the arc tangent of B.
</code>

===== Sinh, Cosh, Tanh =====

Return hyperbolic sine, hyperbolic cosine, and hyperbolic tangent values.

<code xbasic>
A=Sinh B        ' Return the hyperbolic sine of B.
A=Cosh B        ' Return the hyperbolic cosine of B.
A=Tanh B        ' Return the hyperbolic tangent of B.
</code>

===== Sqr===== 

Return Square Root of a value. 

<code xbasic>
A=Sqr B        ' Return the square root of B
</code>

===== Exp =====

Return eX.

<code xbasic>
A=Exp X        'Returns eX.
</code>

===== Log, Log10 =====

Return Log or Log10 of a value.

<code xbasic>
A=Log B 
A=Log10 B
</code>

For the natural logarithm (Ln), simply do: A=Log B

===== Abs =====
Return the absolute value of a Long.

<code xbasic>
Dim A As Long, B As Long
B = -1234
A=Abs B           ' Return |B|.
Debug Dec A       ' Print 1234
</code>

===== FAbs =====

Return the absolute value of a Single.

<code xbasic>
Dim A As Single, B As Single
B=-1234.0
A=Fabs B          ' Return |B|.
Debug Float A     ' Print 1234.00
</code>

===== Floor =====

Round down to the nearest whole number.

<code xbasic>
Dim A As Single, B As Single
B = 3.5
A=Floor B         ' Floor 3.5 gives 3.
Debug Float A     ' Print 3.0
