DTOR()
Converts from a degree to radian measure
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Syntax
DTOR(<nAngle>) --> nArc
Argument
<Angle> Designates a valid angle measurement in degrees.
Returns
DTOR() returns the radian of the specified value.
Description
In addition to expressing angle measurements in degrees, you may also
need to express an angle in radians. With DTOR(), you can convert
degree measurements into radians.
Example
Show some calculations accurate to 15th place:
? STR(DTOR(360), 18, 15) // Result: 6.283185307179588
? STR(DTOR(180), 18, 15) // Result: 3.141592653589794
? STR(DTOR(180.5), 18, 15) // Result: 3.150319299849766
? STR(DTOR(720), 18, 15) // Result: 12.566370614359180
? STR(DTOR(-180), 18, 15) // Result:-3.141592653589794
