Greetings ray96,
Mathematics in C is not difficult to use. For example, lets take this word problem for example:
Note: Since 360° = 2 radians, then 180° = radians.
We will use this fact to convert between degrees and radians.
» Convert 5/12 radians to degrees.
Lets take a simple approach:
Step 1: 5 rads / 12
Step 2: 180 degs / rads
Step 3: 5 x 180degs / 12
Step 4: 75 degrees
Doing this in C wont be hard at all:
This algorithm may not be perfect, but its a good start. If you have any further questions please feel free to ask.
