You can call it anything you like. I call it TEST360. I keep it in the Home directory so I can call it from any program I write.

Code:

IF 0. < THEN
   360. +
END

Brad, did you mean to put a DUP in there somewhere? Seems like one might be needed (either before or after the "IF" most likely).

Yes, you'd need a DUP in there for it to work correctly. Thanks for pointing that out.

Quote:I'm also wondering if this would work just as well:

Code:

360. MOD

Are there situations where it won't provide the correct results?

I like this very much, and I don't see any cases where it wouldn't return the correct answer. Thanks for the tip.
