 * `check-primes`: Check the first *n* natural numbers for primality, printing out a 1 if the number is prime and a 0 if it's not.
 * `cholesky`: Perform Cholesky decomposition of a Hermitian and positive definite matrix. The result is validated by comparing with Python's `scipy.linalg.cholesky`.
 * `collatz`: Print the [Collatz][collatz] sequence starting at *n*. Note: it is not known whether this will terminate for all *n*.
+* `cordic`: Print an approximation of sine(radians) using 8 iterations of the [CORDIC algorithm](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CORDIC).
 * `digial-root`: Computes the digital root of the input number.
 * `eight-queens`: Counts the number of solutions for *n* queens problem, a generalization of [Eight queens puzzle][eight_queens].
 * `euclid`: Calculates the greatest common divisor between two large numbers using the [Euclidean Algorithm][euclid] with a helper function for the modulo operator.
