[New-bugs-announce] [issue7770] sin/cos function in decimal-docs

[Johannes Schönberger]

New submission from Johannes Schönberger <jls at icoost.com>:

Unfortunately the sin/cos function in the decimal docs seems to return false results.

In [33]: sin(decimal.Decimal('75'))
Out[33]: Decimal('0.377879483645203210442266845614')

In [34]: sin(decimal.Decimal('76'))
Out[34]: Decimal('-2.08828460009724889326220807212')

In [42]: sin(decimal.Decimal('100'))
Out[42]: Decimal('-58433045378.5877442230422602000')

#####

In [37]: cos(decimal.Decimal('79'))
Out[37]: Decimal('-14.3603762068086273628189466621')

In [38]: cos(decimal.Decimal('77'))
Out[38]: Decimal('-13.6219693138941571794243404126')

In [39]: cos(decimal.Decimal('75'))
Out[39]: Decimal('1.25761570869417008177315814688')

In [40]: cos(decimal.Decimal('72'))
Out[40]: Decimal('-1.02323683857735456186757099584')
