## @deftypefn {} {@var{y} =} sinpi (@var{x})
## Compute sine (@var{x} * pi) for each element of @var{x} accurately.
##
## The ordinary @code{sin} function uses IEEE floating point numbers and may
## produce results that are very close (within a few eps) of the correct
## value, but which are not exact.  The @code{sinpi} function is more accurate
## and returns 0 exactly for integer values of @var{x} and +1/-1 for
## half-integer values (e.g., @dots{}, -3/2, -1/2, 1/2, 3/2, @dots{}).
##
## Example @*
## comparison of @code{sin} and @code{sinpi} for integer values of @var{x}
##
## @example
## @group
## sin ([0, 1, 2, 3] * pi)
## @result{}
##      0   1.2246e-16  -2.4493e-16   3.6739e-16
##
## sinpi ([0, 1, 2, 3])
## @result{}
##        0   0   0   0
## @end group
## @end example

## @seealso{cospi, sin}

  if (nargin < 1)

  ## Wrap integer multiples so that new domain is [-1, 1)
  x = mod (x-1, 2) - 1;

  ## Integer multiples of pi must be exactly zero
  x(x == -1) = 0;

  y = sin (x * pi);
