Important Notes

  • Angles for trigonometric functions are expected to be in radians.
  • The summation function has a maximum range to prevent excessive computation.
  • Division by zero will result in an error.
  • Logarithms of negative numbers will result in NAN (Not a number).
  • Input values for functions like sqrt() and log() must be within their valid domains.
