# sin

Computes the sine in radians for each element of x.

## 📝 Syntax

* res = sin(x)

## 📥 Input argument

* x - a numeric value

## 📤 Output argument

* res - a numeric value

## 📄 Description

sin computes the sine in radians for each element of x.

The sine function is defined as: $$\sin(x) = \frac{e^{ix} - e^{-ix}}{2i}$$

For real arguments, it represents the y-coordinate on the unit circle.

## 💡 Example

```matlab
A = eye(3, 3);
res = sin(A)
```
