How to do Cos 48, then Cos 49 and on up to 58 degrees

I would like to know how to program and how to plot a semi-repetitive operation. I would like to start to get the numerical value of Cos of 48 degrees and plot it. Then Cos 49 degrees and plot it and so on up to 59 degrees.

thanks Jake

Fortran is easier than doing that with Mathematica. I can see why several people said to study the commands of Mathematica vs. the old fashion way.
Thanks Jake

I think you would really benefit by learning the Wolfram Language (i.e. Mathematica) as it's intended to be used and how it is most powerful. Though one can write old school procedural programs in Mathematica using GOTO, RETURN & c, it is almost always the wrong thing to do. Once you know some of the rudiments of the language you will be amazed ;-)

Take a leisurely approach and start working through the introductory book that Stephen Wolfram recently wrote. It's on-line at

Thank you. I am old school and I still think that I need to write a little program using IF, GOTO and so on. thanks

No need to use Table and a counter in order to form the list; leave the details to Mathematica! Thus:

 ListPlot[Cos[Range[48, 58] Degree], PlotRange -> {All, {-1, 1}}]

Here is an answer to your question, but first, I think that you would profit by starting to teach yourself Mathematica. Here is a link to a thread that covers some beginner books and other resources to learn the Wolfram Language:

ListPlot[Table[Cos[i Degree], {i, 48, 58}],  PlotRange -> {All, {-1, 1}}]
