Units and assumptions
A full turn is 360 degrees, 2π radians or 400 gradians. Angles are converted without wrapping, so values above one turn and negative angles are retained.
Calculator results use floating-point arithmetic and are rounded for display. The reference table below uses up to 12 significant digits.
