Trig Functions In Basic

by "SomOne" <SomeOne@[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Jan 9, 2008 at 11:28 PM

Need a little help from the people out there.



I am looking for a compiled "Basic" that has the following functions:



COS

SIN

TAN

ARCOS

ARCSIN

ARCTAN

DEG

RAD



A long time ago in a different lifetime I used a Basic that was on an IBM
5100.  It had those functions; however, it was missing many of the other
functions that are present in today's basic.



Now I know that you can write a DefFN for ARCOS, ARCSIN, DEG, and RAD;
however, you wind up loosing a point of precision and that I really can't
afford.



The trig function normally run in RAD while the inverse function run in
DEG.



I will be doing some testing some formulas in flat earth geom and sphere
geom and really need these function.



Actually, I am at a loss as to why the majority of compilers do not
contain
those functions.  If they have ARCTAN would be nice if they had them all.



Don't want to get into a phil disc on how to build a compiler, just want
to
find a basic that I can use to test some logic.



Thanks in advance.
