In Degree angle mode, multiplies
expression1
by 180/
p
. In Radian angle mode, returns
expression1
unchanged.
This function gives you a way to use a radian
angle while in Degree mode. (In Degree angle
mode,
sin()
,
cos()
,
tan()
, and polar-to-
rectangular conversions expect the angle
argument to be in degrees.)
Hint: Use
ô
if you want to force radians in a
function or program definition regardless of
the mode that prevails when the function or
program is used.
