from radians. Therefore, `PI` is treated a bit specially by KCL and always has unknown units. This
|
||||
means that if you use `PI`, you will need to give KCL some extra information about the units of numbers.
|
||||
Usually you should use type ascription on the result of calculations, e.g., `(2 * PI): number(rad)`.
|
||||
You might prefer to use `units::toRadians` or `units::toDegrees` to convert between angles with
|
||||
different units.
|

It is better to use `units::toRadians` or `units::toDegrees` to convert between angles with
|
||||
different units where possible.
