beep() 241
Example
This statement displays the arctangent of 1:
(1).atan
The result, to four decimal places, is 0.7854, or approximately pi/4.
Most trigonometric functions use radians, so you may want to convert from degrees to radians.
This handler lets you convert between degrees and radians:
-- Lingo syntax
on DegreesToRads degreeValue
return degreeValue * PI/180
end
// JavaScript syntax
function DegreesToRads(degreeValue) {
return degreeValue * PI/180
}
The handler displays the conversion of 30 degrees to radians in the Message window:
put DegreesToRads(30)
-- 0.5236
