[Link](x) returns the sine (a value between -1 and 1) of the angle x (given in radians).

If you want to use degrees instead of radians, you have to convert degrees to radians:

Angle in radians = Angle in degrees x PI / 180.

Example
[Link](90 * [Link] / 180); // returns 1 (the sine of 90 degrees)
