A Syntax and Input

Rectangular-to-Polar Coordinate Conversion (Pol)

Pol(x, y)

x: Rectangular coordinate x-value

y: Rectangular coordinate y-value

Polar-to-Rectangular Coordinate Conversion (Rec)

Rec(r, Ƨ)

r : Polar coordinate r-value

Ƨ: Polar coordinate Ƨ-value

Example 1: To convert the rectangular coordinates ('2, '2 ) to polar coordinates

bv

1+(Pol)!2) ,!2))E

Bv

1+(Pol)!2e ,!2e)E

Example 2: To convert the polar coordinates (2, 30˚) to rectangular coordinates

bv

1-(Rec)2,

30)E

These functions can be used in the COMP Mode.

The r-value or x-value produced by the calculation is assigned to variable I, while the Ƨ-value or y-value is assigned to variable J (page 34).

The values obtained for Ƨ when converting from rectangular coordinates to polar coordinates is within the range –180° < Ƨ < 180°.

When executing a coordinate conversion function inside of a calculation expression, the calculation is performed using the first coordinate that the conversion produces (r-value or x-value).

Example: Pol ('2, '2 ) + 5 = 2 + 5 = 7
