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 develop a 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:

* output the *sine* of an angle, when the angle is specified in degrees as a (scalar) <https://au.mathworks.com/help/matlab/ref/double.html |double|>, with no restriction in the domain.

You provide me with the following example for the function defined as |s = SINE(a)|:

% INPUT
 a = 45 % degrees
 % OUTPUT
 s = 1/sqrt(2)

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 |testSuite|) must address each of the elements of your problem specification:

# Check that my submitted code reliably returns *sufficiently accurate* values for sine of many different angles. Use the <https://au.mathworks.com/help/matlab/ref/assert.html |assert|> function. 
# Ensure that the returned *data type* is suitable. 
# You *cannot* use (or mention) the functions |sind|, |sin|, |cscd| or |cosd| 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!_ ]
# Your |assert| (or other) function must throw <https://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/cody/problems/44357 errors/exceptions> with the following *|error message| text* contents.

* 'Incorrect value' if the output is too inaccurate.
* 'Incorrect data type' if the output is not appropriate.

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!
