You misunderstand, my request was for an optional unit parameter to allow sin and cos to work with degrees. There is no need for seperate commands because when compiled the two different versions can be use behind the scenes. Just like the Plot(x, y) and plot(x, y, colour) commands where the first is not accelerated but the second is.
Ok for that
Example : cos(angle,[deg]) : if deg==true, angle is in degrees, else in radians

That would be indeed useful. An optional parameter which Kale mentioned firstly in his post

imho this should be adopted on all maths commands - some like:
Code: Select all
Result.f = ACos(Value.f,#PB_Degrees)
or alternatively do like the 8-bits did. Have a command to shift all future maths commands to degrees and vice versa.
All future maths commands use/return in degrees.
All future maths commands use/return in radians.
The default being radians.

This thread contains a lot of good ideas!
But i guess the whole consensus of opinion is that it would be nice for the math functions to support both in some way, i guess the implementation is up to Fred & co.
