Methods

(static) AngDiff(x, y) → {object}

The exact difference of two angles reduced to [−180°, 180°]

Parameters:
Name Type Description
x number

the first angle in degrees.
y number

the second angle in degrees.
Source:
Returns:

diff the exact difference, diff.d + diff.e = y − x mod 360°.

This computes z = y − x exactly, reduced to [−180°, 180°]; and then sets z = d + e where d is the nearest representable number to z and e is the truncation error. If z = ±0° or ±180°, then the sign of d is given by the sign of y − x. The maximum absolute value of e is 2−26 (for doubles).

object

(static) AngNormalize(x) → {number}

Normalize an angle.

Parameters:
Name Type Description
x number

the angle in degrees.
Source:
Returns:

the angle reduced to the range [−180°, 180°].

The range of x is unrestricted. If the result is ±0° or ±180° then the sign is the sign of \e x.
