→∡d
Description
The →∡d command turns a scalar into an angle measured in degrees / minutes / seconds.
The angle is entered / 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
00to59; - SS expresses the number of seconds of arc and ranges from
00to59; - xxx… expresses the remaining fraction of seconds of arc.
When a scalar is converted to an angle in degrees / minutes / seconds no check is performed to ensure that the digits at MM and SS positions range from 00 to 59. However addition of 0 (or multiplication by 1) will return a properly normalized angle.
