    Question Computing the sine of an angle

    Please help, I have an assignment to do that calculates the sin of x with a truncation error of less than .000001. The truncation error is the absolute value of the difference between the previously calculated sine of x and the current calculated sine of x. For each iteration of the series I should pront out iteration number, the calculated value, truncation error, and the C math library sine of x. This project was kind of thrown at us, and he really didn't explain too much on how to do it. I have also read the book and still don't understand. If you could help in anyway thank you.

    Are you a classmate of Stephanie? She asked almost the same question. For some hints, take a look the thread she started.
