# TinyMath Functions
This document provides detailed information about the functions available in Tinymath and lists what parameters each function accepts, the return value of that function, and examples of how each function behaves. Most of the functions below accept arrays and apply JavaScript Math methods to each element of that array. For the functions that accept multiple arrays as parameters, the function generally does calculation index by index. Any function below can be wrapped by another function as long as the return type of the inner function matches the acceptable parameter type of the outer function.

Calculates the the sine of a number. For arrays, the function will be applied index-wise to each element.
| Param | Type | Description |
| --- | --- | --- |
| a | number
\| Array.<number>
| a number or an array of numbers, `a` is expected to be given in radians. |
**Returns**: number
\| Array.<number>
- The sine of `a`. Returns an array with the the sine of each element if `a` is an array.
**Example**
```js
sin(0) // returns 0
sin(1.5707963267948966) // returns 1
sin([0, 1.5707963267948966]) // returns [0, 1]
```
***
## _size(_ _a_ _)_
Returns the length of an array. Alias for count
| Param | Type | Description |
| --- | --- | --- |
| a | Array.<any>
| array of any values |
**Returns**: number
- The length of the array. Returns 1 if `a` is not an array.
**Throws**:
- `'Must pass an array'` if `a` is not an array
**Example**
```js
size([]) // returns 0
size([-1, -2, -3, -4]) // returns 4
size(100) // returns 1
```
***
## _sqrt(_ _a_ _)_
Calculates the square root of a number. For arrays, the function will be applied index-wise to each element.
| Param | Type | Description |
| --- | --- | --- |
| a | number
\| Array.<number>
| a number or an array of numbers |
**Returns**: number
\| Array.<number>
- The square root of `a`. Returns an array with the the square roots of each element if `a` is an array.
**Throws**:
- `'Unable find the square root of a negative number'` if `a` < 0
**Example**
```js
sqrt(9) // returns 3
sqrt(30) //5.477225575051661
sqrt([9, 16, 25]) // returns [3, 4, 5]
```
***
## _square(_ _a_ _)_
Calculates the square of a number. For arrays, the function will be applied index-wise to each element.
| Param | Type | Description |
| --- | --- | --- |
| a | number
\| Array.<number>
| a number or an array of numbers |
**Returns**: number
\| Array.<number>
- The square of `a`. Returns an array with the the squares of each element if `a` is an array.
**Example**
```js
square(-3) // returns 9
square([3, 4, 5]) // returns [9, 16, 25]
```
***
## _subtract(_ _a_, _b_ _)_
Subtracts two numbers. If at least one array of numbers is passed into the function, the function will be applied index-wise to each element.
| Param | Type | Description |
| --- | --- | --- |
| a | number
\| Array.<number>
| a number or an array of numbers |
| b | number
\| Array.<number>
| a number or an array of numbers |
**Returns**: number
\| Array.<number>
- The difference of `a` and `b` if both are numbers or an array of differences applied index-wise to each element.
**Throws**:
- `'Array length mismatch'` if `a` and `b` are arrays with different lengths
**Example**
```js
subtract(6, 3) // returns 3
subtract([10, 20, 30, 40], 10) // returns [0, 10, 20, 30]
subtract(10, [1, 2, 5, 10]) // returns [9, 8, 5, 0]
subtract([14, 42, 65, 108], [2, 7, 5, 12]) // returns [12, 35, 52, 96]
```
***
## _sum(_ ..._args_ _)_
Calculates the sum of one or more numbers/arrays passed into the function. If at least one array is passed, the function will sum up one or more numbers/arrays of numbers and distinct values of an array. Sum accepts arrays of different lengths.
| Param | Type | Description |
| --- | --- | --- |
| ...args | number
\| Array.<number>
| one or more numbers or arrays of numbers |
**Returns**: number
- The sum of one or more numbers/arrays of numbers including distinct values in arrays
**Example**
```js
sum(1, 2, 3) // returns 6
sum([10, 20, 30, 40], 10, 20, 30) // returns 160
sum([1, 2], 3, [4, 5], 6) // returns sum(1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6) = 21
sum([10, 20, 30, 40], 10, [1, 2, 3], 22) // returns sum(10, 20, 30, 40, 10, 1, 2, 3, 22) = 138
```
***
## _tan(_ _a_ _)_

| Param | Type | Description |
| --- | --- | --- |
| a | number
\| Array.<number>
| a number or an array of numbers, `a` is expected to be given in radians. |
