If you replace "sine" with "sin" you also change "cosine" to "cosin" (There is
a "sine" in "cosine")
So reverse the order of these first two.

Yes, although the "value" function can do more than it does in this example

Hi, Jim and Roger.
If you like more concise code, you can code the above like this:
put value( tTrigFunction & "(" & tAngle & ")" ) into y

This script is amazingly fast! And so are you, having apparently produced it in

It turns out that Do is fast enough. Here is the Do script:

of "i".)

Hi Mark
I can recall one case where Do was the perfect solution for me.
It was a tutorial to help students understand the physics of the rainbow.
It provided them with a mini-programing language, that allowed them to control
how a ray of light might interact with a drop of water.
They would write

And in that lies one more reason to use "do" only with great care:
In areas where it may be affected by user inputs it can become an
injection vulnerability.
The rest of the language is

Good points all. I usually try to avoid do whenever I can due to its
inherent slowness and t
Well, Mark, maybe not so flexible. For example, to use Do with the arctan()
function in LC, as you suggest, would require you to replace the arctan text
with atan text, or more likely the atan2 text, as that is how LC expresses
that trig funciton.
That might not be easy if arctan text exists
Aw shucks, Mark . . . twas notten. I just copy the many geniuses on this list!

Well, it's not nearly as hard to read, for one thing. But seriously,
the use of lambda functions (google it) can provide a degree of

Hi Jim,
I was trying to directly use the label of an option menu button (with sin, cos

Very close but still no cigar.
I did the following to monitor what was happening
on thisHandler
put the label of btn "myOptionMenu" into sOption
end thisHandler
on otherHandler theta
get "put the" && sOption && "of" && theta
do it
put it&&the result

Or shorter, to avoid the script local variable, read the option button

put the label of btn "myOptiionMenu" into sOption

on otherHandler theta

Roger,
Is this what you are looking for?
If your script is triggered by a change of the option menu, then this format
should work…
on menuPick pItemName
switch pItemName

put the sin of fld 1 into fld 2
break
case "cos"
put the cos of fld 1 in
I know this is probably a stupid question, but I can't seem to make it work:
I have an Option Menu button with sin, cos, tan as menu Items. I want my card

with that label. I've tried every thing I can think of to "get",
