Description


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 rectangular complex number, nothing happens;
  • 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.

Compatibility


This command is new in newRPL and does not exist in userRPL.
