For example, sin 30 is 0.5 normally but when i use the sin function it prints approximately -1 as the answer and i do not know what to do to fix it. Pls help me

Answer 1

You need to convert degrees into radians for it to work.

Use math.radians() and you will get what you are looking for.

Ex.
x = 30
x = math.radians(x)
print(math.sin(x))
