Error in the PBCC help file regarding degrees to radians conversion

[G Grant]

In the help file for ATN, there is a snippet that needs some correction:

Rather than memorizing the radians/degrees conversion factors, calculate them for yourself by remembering this relationship:
2 pi radians equals a full circle (360 degrees), so 1 pi radian is 180 / pi degrees. Conversely, 1 degree equals pi / 180 radians.

The underlined part should actually read:

so 1 pi radian = 180 degrees, and 1 radian = 180 / pi degrees.

Otherwise, some people might get confused.

Good catch!

[Fred Buffington]

shouldn't it actually say ... so 1 pi radians...

[Michael Mattias]

Write two functions or macros to convert both ways.

Write it once.

#INCLUDE it often or put in your "template" file.

Use it many.
