What is TAN() function?
- Tangent (tan) function is a Trigonometry function.
- In a right triangle, the tangent of an angle is the length of the opposite side divided by the length of the adjacent side.
- Sine, Cosine and Tangent are the main functions used in Trigonometry and are based on a Right-Angled Triangle.
- Before getting stuck into the functions, it helps to give a name to each side of a right triangle: "Opposite" is opposite to the angle θ "Adjacent" is adjacent (next to) to the angle θ.

TAN() function in Apache Pig
- The TAN() function is used to calculate the trigonometric tangent of a given expression (angle).
Syntax
grunt> TAN(expression)
- 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
- We 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 tan values of the contents of the wikitechy_math.txt file using TAN() function as given below.
grunt> tan_data = foreach math_data generate (data), TAN(data);
Verification
- Verify the contents of the relation using the Dump operator as given below.
grunt> Dump tan_data;
Output
- The above statement stores the result in the relation named tan_data.
