DegToRad

Converts an angle from degrees to radians.

Syntax

DegToRad( byval x as float64 ) as float64

Notes

• Multiplies by pi/180 using the full-precision constant, rather than a literal a caller typed from memory.
• Every trigonometric function here takes radians, so this is the conversion at the boundary with a user interface or a file format that uses degrees.
• Overloaded on float64 and float32.

Examples

#import "std/numeric"
using numeric

print DegToRad( 180.0 )      '' 3.141592653589793
print DegToRad( 90.0 )       '' 1.570796326794897

'' Round-trips with RadToDeg
print RadToDeg( DegToRad( 45.0 ) )            '' 45
