The Sine function in the prelude is not behaving as I expected. In the
following Hugs session I tested sin on 0, 90,180 & 360 degrees.
Prelude> sin 0
0.0 --correct
Prelude> sin (pi/2)
1.0 --correct
Prelude> sin pi
1.22460635382238e-16 --WRONG!
Prelude> sin (2*pi)
-2.44921270764475e-16 --WRONG!
Is this normal behaviour? Or am I using the trig functions in an unexpected
way?
Thanks...
