 ==== Entering Angles ====
-Angles are their own object type.  An angle is entered by prefixing a number with the angle symbol (∡, **AL-RS-6**), followed by a number, then finally a suffix that indicates the system (° = degrees, r = radians, g = grads, or d = DMS [Degrees Minutes Seconds] = DDD.MMSS)((r, g, and d are case insensitive)).  To enter an angle in the [[manual:chapter2:interface|current angle mode of the calculator]], the suffix can be left off.  For example, the following all indicate an angle of 90.5 degrees:

 The result of an operation on angle objects has the following conventions:
   * Addition and subtraction between angles returns an angle expressed in the system of the first argument,
-  * For all other operations, angles will be converted to the [[manual:chapter2:interface|current angle system]] and output a number.
+  * For all other operations, angles will be converted to the [[manual:chapter2:interface|current angle mode]] and output a number.

 ==== Commands for Angle Objects ====
+| Command | Purpose | Example |
+| ''→∡°'' | Convert real number to angle object in degrees. | ''56.2 →∡°'' yields ''∡56.2°'' |
+| ''→∡r'' | Convert real number to angle object in radians. | ''56.2 →∡r'' yields ''∡56.2r'' |
+| ''→∡g'' | Convert real number to angle object in grads. | ''56.2 →∡g'' yields ''∡56.2g'' |
+| ''→∡d'' | Convert real number to angle object in DMS. | ''56.2 →∡d'' yields ''∡56.2d'' |
+| ''A→∡°'' | Convert angle to degrees. | ''∡0.7854r. A→∡°'' yields ''∡45.0001.°'' |
+| ''A→∡r'' | Convert angle to radians. | ''∡45° A→∡r'' yields ''∡0.7854.r'' |
+| ''A→∡g'' | Convert angle to grads. | ''∡45° A→∡g'' yields ''∡50g'' |
+| ''A→∡d'' | Convert angle to DMS. | ''∡45.5° A→∡d'' yields ''∡45.3d'' |
