NAME
g2gms - convert gradians into gradians, minutes, and seconds
SYNOPSIS
g2gms(grads, g, m, s [,rnd])
TYPES
grads real
g null-or-real-valued lvalue with assign-to permission
m null-or-real-valued lvalue with assign-to permission
s 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, m minutes, and s seconds.
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 an integer number of minutes.
The value m will be set as if the following were used:
tmp = return_value - g;
tmp_m = tmp * 60;
free(tmp);
m = int(tmp_m);
For some rounding modes, m will be an integer in the interval [0, 60).
For other rounding modes, m will be an integer in the interval (-60, 0].
For the default round mode, m will be in the interval [0, 60).
The s argument will be a real number of seconds.
The value s will be set as if the following were used:
tmp = tmp_m - m;
free(tmp_m);
s = tmp * 60;
free(tmp);
For some rounding modes, s will be a real value in the interval [0, 60).
For other rounding modes, s will be a real value in the interval (-60, 0].
For the default round mode, s will be in the interval [0, 60).
The following shows relationship between the return value and the resulting
g, m, and s values:
return_value == g + m/60 + s/3600;
