[HP 35s] Hosoda trig program giving incorrect answers to certain angles
Hello all,

After clearing all variables and registers, I noticed that Hosoda gives wrong answers to certain angles (cosine) on my 35s:
\[
\begin{matrix} & Hosoda & 35s & 34s & 50g \\ 5\frac { \pi }{ 180 } & 9.96194698092E-1 & 9.96194698092E-1 & 9.96194698092E-1 & 9.96194698092E-1 \\ 75\frac { \pi }{ 180 } & 2.58819045098E-1 & 2.58819045098E-1 & 2.58819045103E-1 & 2.58819045108E-1 \\ 89.999\frac { \pi }{ 180 } & 1.74532948958E-5 & 1.74532948891E-5 & 1.74532925187E-5 & 1.74532948957E-5 \\ 89.9999\frac { \pi }{ 180 } & 1.74532489662E-6 & 1.74532489000E-6 & 1.74532925262E-6 & 1.74532489662E-6 \end{matrix} \]

Does anybody have any idea as to what is happening? Maybe I am missing something here?

I have already double-checked all program lines and everything is exactly as before.

Very much appreciated.

Marcio

CORRECTION: Hosoda trig program is working as expected, it was I who "forgot" about the significant loss of accuracy that occurs while converting from DEG to RAD, as pointed out by our dear friend Gerald.
