AI-generated Key Takeaways
-
The
Number.tan()method computes the tangent of a number assumed to be in radians. -
It takes a single argument, the input number, and returns a number representing the tangent.
-
Examples show how to compute the tangent of common angles and how to convert degrees to radians for use with the method.
