Description: for an angel of 180° Calc gives sin=1,22464679914735E-16 sin must be 0 for an angel of 360° Calc gives sin=-2,44929359829471E-16 sin must be 0 Formula used for sin sin(radialen(angel)) Steps to Reproduce: Formula used for sin sin(radialen(angel)) 2. 3. Actual Results: for an angel of 180° Calc gives sin=1,22464679914735E-16 for an angel of 360° Calc gives sin=-2,44929359829471E-16 Expected Results: In both cases te result must be 0 error persist in further multiples of 180° Reproducible: Always User Profile Reset: No OpenGL enabled: Yes Additional Info: Versie: 6.0.7.3 Build ID: 1:6.0.7-0ubuntu0.18.04.10 CPU-threads: 12; Besturingssysteem: Linux 5.4; UI-render: standaard; VCL: gtk3; Locale: nl-BE (nl_BE.UTF-8); Calc: group
