Option 1, optimized for speed, not precision.

SIN(X) ;
	; This version of the function is
	; optimized for speed, not for precision.
	; The ‘precision’ parameter is not supported,
	; and the precision is at best 1 in 10**–9.
	; Note that this function does not accept its
	; parameter in degrees, minutes and seconds.
	;
	Quit $%COS^MATH(–$%PI^MATH()/2+X)

Option 2, optimized for precision, not speed

SIN(X,PREC) ;
	New L,LIM,K,SIGN,VALUE
	;
	; The official description does not mention that
	; the function may also be called with the first
	; parameter in degrees, minutes and seconds.
	Set:X[":" X=$%DMSDEC^MATH(X)

	Set PREC=$Get(PREC,11)
	Set X=X#(2*$%PI^MATH())
	Set (VALUE,L)=X,SIGN=–1
	Set LIM=$Select((PREC+3)'>11:PREC+3,1:11),@("LIM=1E-"_LIM)
	For K=3:2 Do  Quit:($Translate(L,"-")<LIM)  Set SIGN=SIGN*–1
	. Set L=L/(K–1)*X/K*X,VALUE=VALUE+(SIGN*L)
	. Quit
	Quit VALUE
