sin(x) & cos(x) for x = 10²² in radians
An interesting table comparing 'computed' vs. 'mathematical' value of sin(x) & cos(x) for x = 10²² {radians} on various current computing systems … Note that many computing systems return 0.0 or an error message when x is large. The worst behavior that the author has come across was on the Casio fx-8100. It produces a fatal error computing sin(x) when x > 26.
