The ''A→∡d'' command turns a scalar or a suitable component of a composite object into an angle measured in degrees / minutes / seconds.

In particular, if the component is:

  * a **scalar**, then the number is interpreted as an angle //in the current angular mode// and converted to degrees / minutes / seconds;
  * a **polar complex number**, then the angular component is converted to degrees / minutes / seconds;
  * an **angle**, then the angle is converted to degrees / minutes / seconds;
  * a **vector**, then any angle or polar complex number //but not scalars// is converted to degrees / minutes / seconds as per above rules.

The angle is displayed as a real number in the format **DD.MMSSxxx...** where:

  * **DD** expresses the number of degrees;
  * **MM** expresses the number of minutes of arc and ranges from ''00'' to ''59'';
  * **SS** expresses the number of seconds of arc and ranges from ''00'' to ''59'';
  * **xxx...** expresses the remaining fraction of seconds of arc.
