Like sine is used to get the y coordinate, cosine is used to give the x coordinate, what does tangent and cotangent give?

Tangent is most useful as the arctangent. atan(y/x)=θ, so you can undo the operations of sine and cosine.
Cotangent, as far as I’m aware, only comes into play with integration, which, as a programmer, you would probably just solve computationally.
