Deg Min Sec question - Gene222 - 07-16-2018 08:34 PM
How do you assign an angle in degrees, minutes, seconds to a variable?
Code:
LOCAL aa,bb;
EXPORT AngleCalcs()
BEGIN
aa:=EXPR("25°15'00"");
bb:=aa + EXPR("7°12'13"");
PRINT();
PRINT("aa="+aa);
PRINT("bb="+bb);

I think you don't have the correct unicode characters for min and sec. Try with: 25°15′00″ and 7°12′13″ (they may look the same as your's in the browser but they are not the same.

I was wondering, what are tr (turn 360 degrees) angle units?
Code:
LOCAL aa,bb,cc,dd;
EXPORT AngleCalcsExamples()
BEGIN
//DMS calcs
aa:=EXPR("25°15′5″");
bb:=aa + EXPR("7°12′13.57″");
PRINT();
PRINT("aa (DMS)="+aa);
PRINT("bb="+bb);
//conversion from DMS to DEG, and vice versa
cc:=45.75;
PRINT("cc-deg="+cc);
cc:=→HMS(cc);
PRINT("cc-dms="+cc);
cc:=HMS→(cc);
PRINT("cc-deg="+cc);
//tr angle calcs???
dd:=SIN(325°15′55.3″);
PRINT("SIN(325°15′55.3″)="+dd);
dd:=SIN(325.2525_tr);
PRINT("SIN(325.2525_tr″)="+dd);
dd:=COS(45_tr);
PRINT("COS(45_tr)="+dd);

Hello,
The tr, deg, rad... units are.. well units.
They are units in the fact that they are treated like unit objects, can be converted from one to another.
As a "hack", they are also supported in trig functions.
But their use is relatively limited in reality.
