Degree value to two float variables

Question

I need help creating a function to convert an angle to two float variables.

Here are some examples of the outputs:

• 0 degrees = {1, 0}
• ~31.0760 degrees = {~0.92823970, ~0.37198266}
• 45 degrees= {~0.70707070, ~0.70707070}
• 90 degrees = {0, 1}
• 135 degrees = {~-0.707070707, ~0.707070707}
• 180 degrees = {-1, 0}
• 225 degrees = {~-0.707070707, ~-0.707070707}
• ~240.2409 degrees = {~-0.35347452, ~-0.93544417}
• 270 degrees = {0, -1}
• 315 degrees = {~0.70707070, ~-0.70707070}

Answer 1

I'm not entirely sure if you are hung up on the syntax or the algorithmic part of this problem. I figure the syntax is simpler to look up so I will offer the simple calculation.

Your tuple will be calculated using the lua math functions: math.rad, math.cos, math.sin

{math.cos(math.rad(degrees)), math.sin(math.rad(degrees))}

Hope that helps
