public:
 static ValueTuple<double, double> SinCos(double x);

public static (double Sin, double Cos) SinCos (double x);

static member SinCos : double -> ValueTuple<double, double>

Public Shared Function SinCos (x As Double) As ValueTuple(Of Double, Double)

Parameters

x: Double

An angle, measured in radians.

Remarks

The angle, x, must be in radians. Multiply by Math.PI/180 to convert degrees to radians.

This method calls into the underlying C runtime, and the exact result or valid input range may differ between different operating systems or architectures.
