As much as I am confortable with using degrees I am unconfortable with using radians, which is much. This makes it a real pain for me to use radians for the trigo functions in eclipse. Is it possible to use the trigo functions with degrees instead of the default radians?
There's a built-in function called Math.toDegrees(double) that you could call on your number to convert it into degrees. Does that work for you?
There's also a Math.toRadians(double) function as well.
