Radians function

Syntax

Radians(angle)

Description

Use the Radians function to convert the given angle from degree measurement to radian measurement.

Parameters

Parameter	Description
angle	The size of an angle in degrees.

Returns

The size of the given angle in radians.

Example

The following example returns the equivalent size in radians of an angle measuring 65.5 degrees:

&RADIAN_SIZE = Radians(65.5);

The following example returns the value of pi, that is, 180 degrees expressed as radians:

&PI = Radians(180);

Note:

This example represents pi with a high degree of accuracy, but no computer system can represent irrational numbers exactly. Thus, the results of extended calculations based on pi have the potential for a cumulative reduction in precision.
