A sensor in a robotic arm needs to calculate the angle of rotation in real-time, but the

hardware doesn't support built-in trigonometric functions. Develop a C program to


approximate the value of sin(x) using a series expansion method for improved
performance.

Aim: To develop a C program to approximate the value of sin(x) using a series expansion
method for improved performance

Algorithm

Step 1: Start

Step 2: Read angle.

Step 3: Read number of terms n.

Step 4: Initialize

 term = x
 sum = x
 i=1

Step 5: Repeat until i < n

 Update term = (-term * x * x) / ((2 * i) * (2 * i + 1))


 Update sum = sum + term
 Increment i = i + 1

Step 6: Display sum as the approximated sin value.

Step 7: Stop

Program:

#include <stdio.h>

#include <math.h>

#define PI 3.14

#include<conio.h>

int main() {

int n, i;

float x, term, sum, degree;

clrscr();
printf("Enter the angle in degree: ");

scanf("%f", &degree);

x= (degree * PI)/180.0;

printf("Enter number of terms: ");

scanf("%d", &n);

term = x; // first term

sum = x;

for (i = 1; i < n; i++)

term = (-term * x * x) / ((2 * i) * (2 * i + 1));

sum += term;

printf("Approximated sin(%.2f) = %.6f\n", x, sum);

getch();

return 0;

Flowchart:
Result:

The program to approximate the value of sin(x) using a series expansion method for
improved performance has been executed successfully and the output was verified.
