In this task you need to imagine that you — yes, YOU — have developed a problem on Cody for me to solve, and now you need to prepare a simple Test Suite to check whether my submitted solutions meet your requirements or not.So the tables are turned! You are now in the role of Tester! I am in the role of Player!The problem you've set me is to:<ul><li>output the sine of an angle, when the angle is specified in degrees as a (scalar) <a href = "https://au.mathworks.com/help/matlab/ref/double.html"><tt>double</tt></a>, with no restriction in the domain.</li></ul>You provide me with the following example for the function defined as <tt>s = SINE(a)</tt>:<pre> % INPUT
 a = 45 % degrees
 % OUTPUT
 s = 1/sqrt(2)</pre>Now I have responded by submitting a large number of purported 'solutions', some of which are reasonably accurate, and others which are either too imprecise or else logically flawed.Your Test Suite (contained within your function <tt>testSuite</tt>) must address each of the elements of your problem specification:<ol><li>Check that my submitted code reliably returns sufficiently accurate values for sine of many different angles. Use the <a href = "https://au.mathworks.com/help/matlab/ref/assert.html"><tt>assert</tt></a> function to generate <a href = "https://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/cody/problems/44357">errors/exceptions</a> if the values are not sufficiently accurate.</li><li>You cannot use (or mention) the functions <tt>sind</tt>, <tt>sin</tt>, <tt>cscd</tt> or <tt>cosd</tt> in your Test Suite; any other functions are allowed. [ MOTIVATION: You shouldn't be exposing an efficient way of solving the problem within your Test Suite, otherwise I can just copy and paste your solution and submit it as my own! ]</li></ol>When creating a Test Suite for a Cody problem it is a good habit to try to anticipate the tactics that diverse Players might employ! Therefore the above specification is merely a starting point. You will develop more robust Test Suites in:<ul><li><a href = "https://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/cody/problems/44616">Problem 44616</a> (part 2)</li><li><a href = "https://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/cody/problems/44521">Problem 44521</a> (part 3)</li></ul>Alternatively, if even this Problem seems daunting, you may want to start with <a href = "https://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/cody/problems/44631">Problem 44631</a> (part 0).
