Other Numeric Functions

The following numerical functions are also supported by GPP:

DEGREE(<num-expr>)                             Convert number from radians to degrees

RADIAN(<num-expr>)                             Convert number from degrees to radians

SQRT(<num-expr>)                                 Find the square root of the expression

ABS_(<num-expr>)                                 Find the absolute value of the expression

FORMATTED_NUM(<variable>)               Return the "formatted" value of a variable

FRAC_DIGITS(<variable>)                   Number of digits in the variable format

INT_(<num-expr>)                                 Return the integer part of the expression

FRAC_(<num-expr>)                               Return the fraction part of the expression

DEGREE simply returns its argument multiplied by 180 / PI. The RADIAN function does the reverse operation.

SQRT always returns a positive number. It will generate a runtime error if its argument has a negative value.

ABS_ is a new GPP2 function, returning the absolute value of its argument.
