Argument	Data type

Argument	Data type

The data type of the values in the new column is integer.

Example

In the my.upload.sample.data table, we want to get the tangent of all the numbers in the numbers_int column. We will create a new column using the Tangent operation to do it.

How does it work in LINQ?

Use the operator select... as... and add the operation syntax to create the new column. This is the syntax for the Tangent operation:

tan(number)

Example

You can copy the following LINQ script and try the above example on the my.upload.sample.data table.

from my.upload.sample.data select split(message, ";", 17) as numbers,
int(numbers) as numbers_int select tan(numbers_int) as numbers_int_tan
