FTAN Tangent FTAN
(MC6888X/004SW)
Operation: Tangent of Source → FPn

Syntax: FTAN.X FPm,FPn

Attributes: Format = (Byte, Word, Long, Single, Double, Extended, Packed)
Description: Converts the source operand to extended precision (if necessary) and
calculates the tangent of that number. Stores the result in the destination floating-point
data register. This function is not defined for source operands of ± infinity. If the source
operand is not in the range of [ – π/2... + π/2], the argument is reduced to within that
range before the tangent is calculated. However, large arguments may lose accuracy
during reduction, and very large arguments (greater than approximately 10
20
) lose all
accuracy.

NOTES:
1. If the source operand is a NAN, refer to 1.6.5 Not-A-Numbers for more information.
2. Sets the OPERR bit in the floating-point status register exception byte.
