Android Question Deg2Rad

[Prosg]

Hello,

i use this function php Deg2Rad but i need this in my b4a code ? is there a same function ?

  Dim lonMin, lonMax, latMin, latMax As Double
  
    lonMin = longitude - currentDistance/Abs(Cos(Deg2Rad (latitude))*111)

regards

AFAIK, it does not exist as a core function

But you can do your own function

Sub Deg2Rad(myDeg As Double) As Double
    Return cPI*myDeg/180
End Sub

--EDIT--

Or use cosD(..), which already takes the argument in degrees

As far as I know, one degree is equal 0.01745329252 radians

 

[eurojam]

you can write your own function:
radians = degrees * (pi/180)
degrees = radians * (180/pi)

you have to think about, how precise you want have the value of pi (3.1415 or 3.14159265359...) or you can calculate it like Pi = 4 * ArcTan(1)

Return cPI*myDeg/180

always learning...didn't know that there is a pi constant in b4a...great!!

Don't miss it, I have just seen there is also a cE !! Great @Erel !

you mean i can do only :

cosD(latitude)

?

Just test it

  Log(cosD(latitude))
  Log(cos(Deg2Rad(latitude)))
