NAME d2dm - convert degrees into degrees, and minutes SYNOPSIS d2dm(degs, d, m [,rnd]) TYPES degs real d 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(degs, 360, rnd) DESCRIPTION Convert degs degrees into d degrees, and m minutes. The return value is a normalized number of degrees, and is equivalent to the following: return_value = mod(degs, 360, 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, 360) or a real value in the interval (-360, 0]. For the default round mode, the return value is in the interval [0, 360). The d argument will be an integer number of degrees. The value d will be set as if the following were used: d = int(return_value); For some rounding modes, d will be an integer in the interval [0, 360). For other rounding modes, d will be an integer in the interval (-360, 0]. For the default round mode, d is in the interval [0, 360). 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 - d; 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 d, and m values: return_value == d + m/60; EXAMPLE /* if args are undefined, pre-declare them or assign them as args */ ; global d, m; ; print d2dm(12.3456,d,m), d, m; 12.3456 12 20.736 ; print d2dm(1234.5678,d,m), d, m; 154.5678 154 34.068 ; print d2dm(-1234.5678,d,m), d, m; 205.4322 205 25.932 ; print d2dm(654.321,deg=,min=), deg, min; 294.321 294 19.26 ; print d2dm(-654.321,deg=,min=), deg, min; 65.679 65 40.74 ; print d2dm(360.321,deg=,min=), deg, min; 0.321 0 19.26 /* certain non-default rounding modes can return negative values */ ; print d2dm(654.321,deg=,min=,1), deg, min; -65.679 -65 -40.74 ; print d2dm(-654.321,deg=,min=,1), deg, min; -294.321 -294 -19.26 ; print d2dm(360.321,deg=,min=,1), deg, min; -359.679 -359 -40.74 LIMITS none LINK LIBRARY none SEE ALSO config, d2dms, dm2d, dms2d, g2gm, 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.
