"""
Trigonometric functions for FlexFloat arithmetic.
This module provides implementations of trigonometric and inverse trigonometric
functions for FlexFloat numbers, including sin, cos, tan, asin, acos, atan, atan2,
and degree/radian conversions. The algorithms use Taylor series, range reduction,
and quadrant logic for accuracy and performance with arbitrary-precision floating-point
arithmetic.
Functions:
sin(x): Compute the sine of x (radians).
cos(x): Compute the cosine of x (radians).
tan(x): Compute the tangent of x (radians).
asin(x): Compute the arc sine of x (radians).
acos(x): Compute the arc cosine of x (radians).
atan(x): Compute the arc tangent of x (radians).
atan2(y, x): Compute the arc tangent of y/x, considering the quadrant.
radians(x): Convert degrees to radians.
degrees(x): Convert radians to degrees.
Example:
from flexfloat.math.trigonometric import sin, cos, tan, radians
from flexfloat.core import FlexFloat
x = radians(FlexFloat.from_float(90.0))
print(sin(x)) # 1.0
print(cos(x)) # 0.0
print(tan(x)) # Large value (infinity)
