Commands and Functions
Returns the cosine value of the given number.
var = COS(0) REM sets var to 1
var = COS(PI) REM sets var to -1
COS (number)
Used to retrieve parts of the current date and time. Available arguments are DATE, DATE$, TIME,
TIME$, DAY, JDAY, MONTH, YEAR, SECONDS, MINUTES, HOURS, EPOCH, EPOCHDAY. DATE
and TIME return integer values of the current date and time formatted as YYMMDD and HHMMSS
respectively. The DATE$ and TIME$ arguments return a similar format as string values, specifically
“MM/DD/YYYY” according to the Storm’s Date Format setting and “HH:MM:SS” respectively.
SECONDS, MINUTES, HOURS, DAY, MONTH, and YEAR each return a two-digit integer value of the
specified current date or time subsection. JDAY returns a three-digit integer value of the Julian
Day. EPOCH returns an integer value of the number of seconds since 00:00:00 Jan 1, 1970 while
EPOCHDAY returns the number of seconds from 00:00:00 Jan 1, 1970 until the start of today’s date
at 00:00:00.
