     44 ## Usage
     45 
     46 ```javascript
     47 var haversin = require( '@stdlib/math/base/special/haversin' );
     48 ```
     49 
     50 #### haversin( x )
     51 
     52 Computes the half-value [versed sine][versed-sine] (in radians).
     53 
     54 ```javascript
     55 var v = haversin( 0.0 );
     56 // returns 0.0
     57 
     58 v = haversin( 3.141592653589793/2.0 );
     59 // returns ~0.5
     60 
     61 v = haversin( -3.141592653589793/6.0 );
     62 // returns ~0.06699
     63 ```
