NAME g2gm - convert gradians into gradians, and minutes SYNOPSIS g2gm(grads, g, m [,rnd]) TYPES grads real g null-or-real-valued lvalue with assign-to permission m null-or-real-valued lvalue with assign-to permission rnd nonnegative integer, defaults to config("mod") return mod(grads, 400, rnd) DESCRIPTION Convert grads gradians into g gradians, and m minutes. The return value is a normalized number of gradians, and is equivalent to the following: return_value = mod(grads, 400, rnd); The argument rnd, if not given, defaults to config("mod"). For more information on the effects of rnd, see "help mod". Depending on the rounding mode, the return could be a real value in the interval [0, 400) or a real value in the interval (-400, 0]. For the default round mode, the return value is in the interval [0, 400). The g argument will be an integer number of gradians. The value g will be set as if the following were used: g = int(return_value); For some rounding modes, g will be an integer in the interval [0, 400). For other rounding modes, g will be an integer in the interval (-400, 0]. For the default round mode, g is in the interval [0, 400). The m argument will be a real number of minutes. The value m will be set as if the following were used: tmp = return_value - g; m = tmp * 60; free(tmp); For some rounding modes, m will be a real value in the interval [0, 60). For other rounding modes, m will be a real value in the interval (-60, 0]. For the default round mode, m will be in the interval [0, 60). The following shows relationship between the return value and the resulting g, and m values: return_value == g + m/60; EXAMPLE ; ## if args are undefined, pre-declare them or assign them as args ; global g, m; ; print g2gm(12.3456,g,m), g, m; 12.3456 12 20.736 ; print g2gm(1234.5678,g,m), g, m; 34.5678 34 34.068 ; print g2gm(-1234.5678,g,m), g, m; 365.4322 365 25.932 ; print g2gm(654.321,grad=,min=), grad, min; 254.321 254 19.26 ; print g2gm(-654.321,grad=,min=), grad, min; 145.679 145 40.74 ; print g2gm(400.321,grad=,min=), grad, min; 0.321 0 19.26 ; ## certain non-default rounding modes can return negative values ; print g2gm(654.321,grad=,min=,1), grad, min; -145.679 -145 -40.74 ; print g2gm(-654.321,grad=,min=,1), grad, min; -254.321 -254 -19.26 ; print g2gm(400.321,grad=,min=,1), grad, min; -399.679 -399 -40.74 LIMITS none LINK LIBRARY none SEE ALSO config, d2dm, d2dms, dm2d, dms2d, g2gms, gm2g, gms2g, h2hm, h2hms, hm2d, hms2d, mod ## Copyright (C) 2021 Landon Curt Noll ## ## Calc is open software; you can redistribute it and/or modify it under ## the terms of the version 2.1 of the GNU Lesser General Public License ## as published by the Free Software Foundation. ## ## Calc is distributed in the hope that it will be useful, but WITHOUT ## ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of MERCHANTABILITY ## or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.
