The TAN() function in SQLite calculates the tangent of an angle provided in radians. The tangent is the ratio of sine to cosine (or the ratio of the opposite side to the adjacent side in a right triangle).

Understanding the POW() Function in SQLite
In SQLite, the pow() function calculates the result of raising one number to the power of another. In other words, it performs an exponentiation operation.
The pow() function is particularly useful for mathematical operations where powers or exponents are required.
It’s also available as power(). Both syntaxes do the same thing.
Understanding SQLite’s FLOOR() Function
The FLOOR() function in SQLite returns the largest integer value that is less than or equal to a given numeric expression. Essentially, it “rounds down” a decimal number to the nearest integer below it.
This function is useful in cases where you want to discard the decimal portion of a number without rounding up.
Continue readingA Quick Overview of the ACOSH() Function in SQLite
The ACOSH() function in SQLite calculates the inverse hyperbolic cosine of a given number. The inverse hyperbolic cosine of a number is the value whose hyperbolic cosine equals that number.
Understanding SQLite’s COSH() Function
The COSH() function in SQLite calculates the hyperbolic cosine of a number, which is similar to the regular cosine function, but for hyperbolic geometry.
Understanding the SQRT() Function in SQLite
In SQLite, the SQRT() function calculates the square root of a number. It returns the value which, when multiplied by itself, equals the input number.
Note that SQLite returns NULL if you try to calculate the square root of a negative number, NULL, or a value of the wrong type.
A Quick Look at SQLite’s ASINH() Function
The ASINH() function in SQLite calculates the inverse hyperbolic sine of a given numeric value. The result is the value whose hyperbolic sine is the specified number.
Understanding SQLite’s PI() Function
The PI() function in SQLite returns the mathematical constant π (pi), which is approximately 3.14159265358979. It is used to represent the ratio of the circumference of a circle to its diameter.
The PI() function is commonly employed in mathematical computations, particularly in geometry, trigonometry, and other scientific calculations involving circles and angles.
Overview of the SQLite COS() Function
The COS() function in SQLite calculates the cosine of a given angle. The angle must be specified in radians. The result is the cosine of the angle, which is a real number between -1 and 1.
Understanding SQLite’s MOD() Function
The MOD() function in SQLite is used to calculate the remainder when one number is divided by another. This operation is commonly known as the modulo operation.
