Re: How can my calc stay in "Degrees" mode instead of switching to "Radians"?

2009-02-19 by Don Hart

I think some of the internal functions use the radian
mode only, so it switches whether you like it or not
and there's not much you can do to prevent that.

You can assign a key (or create a custom menu) to
toggle degree/radian back & forth. In either case, you
can use something like the following code to do the
toggle.

<<
IF -17. FS?
THEN -17. CF
ELSE -17. SF
