 Basic arithmetic operations can also be applied to angle objects: Basic arithmetic operations can also be applied to angle objects:
  
-''∡90° ∡50° +'' yields ''∡135°''+''∡90° ∡45° +'' yields ''∡135°''
  
 ''∡1.57r ∡50° -'' yields ''∡0.6973r'' ''∡1.57r ∡50° -'' yields ''∡0.6973r''

 The result of an operation on angle objects has the following conventions: 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 mode]] and output a number.+  * Addition and subtraction between angles returns an angle expressed in the system of the first argument. For example ''∡1.57r ∡50° -'' yields ''∡0.6973r'' 
 + 
 +  * Addition and subtraction between an angle and a real number will interpret the real number as an angle given in the [[manual:chapter2:interface|current angle mode]]. The result will be an angle expressed in the system of the first argument (current mode if the first argument is the real number). For example ''∡90° 45 +'' yields ''∡135°''. 
 + 
 +  * Multiplication of an angle by a real number will result in an angle in the given format. For example ''∡90° 2 *''  yields ''∡180°''. 
 + 
 +  * Division of an angle by a number results in an angle in the given format. For example ''∡90° 2 /''  yields ''∡45°''. 
 + 
 +  * Commands and functions that accept angles as arguments will consider that a real number is an angle expressed in the [[manual:chapter2:interface|current angle mode]]. For example ''90 SIN'' yields ''1'' while the system is in ''DEG'' mode. 
 + 
 +  * For all other operations and commands, including those that don't accept angles as arguments, angles will be converted to radians and become normal real numbers.
