What is SIN() function?
- The sine function is one of the basic functions encountered in trigonometry (the others being the cosecant, cosine, cotangent, secant, and tangent).
- Let be an angle measured counterclockwise from the x-axis along an arc of the unit circle.

SIN() function in Apache Pig
- The SIN() function of Pig Latin is used to calculate the sine value of a given expression.
Syntax
grunt> SIN(expression)
Example
- Ensure that we have a file named wikitechy_math.txt in the HDFS directory /pig_data/. This file contains integer and floating point values as given below.
Wikitechy_math.txt
5
16
9
2.5
5.9
3.1
- You have loaded this file into Pig with a relation named math_data as given below.
grunt> math_data = LOAD 'hdfs://localhost:9000/pig_data/wikitechy_math.txt' USING PigStorage(',')
as (data:float);
- Now, you can generate the sine values of the contents of the wikitechy_math.txt file using SIN() function as given below.
grunt> sin_data = foreach math_data generate (data), SIN(data);
Verification
Verify the contents of the relation using the Dump operator as shown below.
grunt> Dump sin_data;
Output
- The above statement stores the result in the relation named sin_data.
