Solve $\{ \sin \lfloor x \rfloor \}+\{ \cos \lfloor x \rfloor \}=\{ \tan \lfloor x \rfloor \}$ for real solution(s).
 
x in radian or degree ?
 
Hi Kali, $x$ is in radian.

Sorry, but I'm a bit confused. I know what the floor function does but what does the {.} do?

Sorry Dan for not being clear in my question.(Blush)

{} means the fractional part of $x$, and defined by the formula $\{ x \}=x-\lfloor x \rfloor$.

Hope this clears it up!
