Constructor Detail

AngleRadians

public AngleRadians(double angle)

Initialises object with a given angle in degrees. Note that this is an immutable class so cannot change its angular value.

Parameters:

angle - Angle in degrees.

Method Detail

getAngle

public double getAngle()

Reports his angle in radians.

Returns:

Angle (not rounded or truncated).

getDegrees

public int getDegrees()

Reports the whole degrees part of this angle.

Returns:

The whole number of degrees in this angle (truncated not rounded).

getMinutes

public double getMinutes()

Reports the minutes part of this angle. Can include decimal minutes.

Returns:

The minutes component of this angle.

toString

public String toString()

Reports the value of this angle in degrees and minutes.

Overrides:

toString in class Object

Returns:

A textual representation of this angle. Useful for reporting angle to user.

equals

public boolean equals(AngleRadians otherAngle)

Tests if the two angles are identical.

Parameters:

otherAngle - Other angle to compare with this one.

Returns:

True if this angle is equal to the given one.

greaterThan

public boolean greaterThan(AngleRadians otherAngle)

Tests if this angle is greater than the given angle.

Parameters:

otherAngle - Other angle to compare with this one.

Returns:

True if this angle is greater than the given one.

lessThan

public boolean lessThan(AngleRadians otherAngle)

Tests if this angle is less than the given angle.

Parameters:

otherAngle - Other angle to compare with this one.

Returns:

True if this angle is less than the given one.
