Given $f(z) = sin(z)$ such that $z$ is an element of the complex numbers is the range of the real part of $f(z)$ all the reals?
Is the range of the real part of $f(z)$ all reals given that the imaginary part is zero?

The equation $sin z=w$ has solution for every complex $w$ (in particular real).



Indeed, if $t=e^iz$, the equation becomes
$$
fract-t^-12i=w
$$
that is
$$
t^2-2iwt-1=0
$$
Therefore $t=iw+sqrt1-w^2$ (or its inverse). In particular $0$ is never a solution and the equation $e^iz=t$ certainly has solution.

    Building on my comment here is a way to prove it without needing to calculate any solutions:



    as $sin:mathbb Crightarrowmathbb C$ is entire and non constant, we can apply the Little Picard Theorem and therefore we have that $sin(mathbb C)=mathbb C$ or $sin(mathbb C)=mathbb Csetminusa$ for one $ainmathbb C$. Let us assume the later. Because $sin$ is an uneven function this would mean that also $-anotinsin(mathbb C)$. This can only be true if $a=0$ (else we would contradict Picard), but we all know that $sin(0)=0$ and therefor $sin(mathbb C)=mathbb C$.

    $$
    sin (i z + fracpi2) = cosh z \
    sin (i z - fracpi2) = - cosh z\
    $$



    So the image of $fracpi2+imathbbR$ takes care of getting $mathbbR_geq 1$. Similarly the image of $frac-pi2+imathbbR$ takes care of getting $mathbbR_leq -1$. The image of $mathbbR$ takes care of getting $[-1,1]$ with $sin$ being viewed as a usual $mathbbR to [-1,1]$.
