DTOR()

Post by kevclark64 »

The DTOR() function does not appear to be working properly. For example, DTOR(180) should return 3.14, but it actually returns 1.57.

Even in Core i see the 1.57.
Strange enough, in X#/VO Dialect it doesn't compile:error XS0118: 'dtor' is a namespace but is used like a variable
EDIT:
in Git there is:
FUNCTION DToR(nDegrees as USUAL) AS REAL8
RETURN (REAL8) nDegrees/ 360 * Math.PI
so, either (REAL8) nDegrees / 360 * Math.PI * 2
or
RETURN (REAL8) nDegrees / 180.0 * Math.PI

EDIT2: Similiar in RtoD()
FUNCTION RToD(nRadian as USUAL) AS REAL8
// RETURN ((REAL8) nRadian / Math.PI) * 360.0
better:
RETURN ((REAL8) nRadian*180.0/Math.PI)

EDIT3: Wanted to save some time for dev, creating an issue at git - but either i'm to stupid for them or their account creation tool is abysmal. So, sorry, no deal ;)
EDIT4: Succeded - they send a "verificate your email" - but don't tell you in advance. So, "in", and issue added.

Guys,

Thanks for reporting this, problem is fixed now as you suggested! It's too late to include this in tonight's new quickfix build, but Kevin if you need a quick fix for this, I can send you a new dll afterwards.

Chris,
out of curiosity: What does the compile error mean?

No idea, I do not get this error at all! :)
If you'd like, please post a repro sample and I will have a look.

See attached versions. dtor has error, dtor2 has not. Both x#-runtime apps from gallery. The first one has had some swaps between dialects, if that means something ;)

Hi Karl,

Ah, thanks, that's because the app name is the same with the function name, this is not allowed. I will log this as a problem, to improve the error message to make it clear what the problem is.
