RE: newRPL - build 1089 released! [update:build 1158]
Going on a tangent again...
(04-28-2019 08:30 AM)Gilles Wrote: If I'm not mistaken, RPL has no specific object for 'angle'.It has. The stock firmware uses the regular units system for them, which also gives you angle conversion for free. (100_grad 1_arcmin CONVERT -> 5400_arcmin) Even plain numbers are accepted for conversions, CONVERT treats them as having the unit of the current angle mode just like the trig commands do! The only thing missing is a way to output in DMS. Input is possible by adding numbers with \^o, arcmin, arcs units together; slightly unwieldy, but it works. Fortunately, DMS output could be retrofitted like this: Code: \<< Even better, with library 256 you can have it construct a symbolic object containing the unevaluated sum, which would only occupy a single stack level instead of three. (Inspired by what complex numbers look like when flag -27 is set.) Code: \<< Claudio, what will happen to existing programs using unit objects for angles - will they work in newRPL at some point? |
