ex_sin_cos.nxc

This is an example of how to use the cos and the sin functions.

// Run this program and you will see a circle appear on the NXT screen in a
// strange random way. No two runs will produce the circle in exactly the same
// way.
// This program runs indefinitely -- press gray button to exit.
