Less.js Math tan() Function

Last Updated : 23 Jul, 2025

Less.js is a simple CSS pre-processor that facilitates the creation of manageable, customizable, and reusable style sheets for websites. Since CSS is a dynamic style sheet language, it is preferred. LESS is adaptable, so it works with a wide range of browsers. Only CSS that has been created and processed using the CSS pre-processor, a computer language, can be used by web browsers. In addition to providing capabilities like variables, functions, mixins, and operations to help create dynamic CSS while maintaining backward compatibility, it is a CSS language extension.

In this article, we are going to discuss the Math tan() function, which is used to do the tangent function on a given value. This function takes a floating number or deg value or rad value as a parameter and performs an tan operation on that value and returns a number.

Syntax:

tan(value)
 

Parameters:

  • value: This is the only compulsory parameter for this function. This parameter takes a floating number.
