No, you can't, I said "purely arithmetic operation", which polar-rectangular or vice versa conversions aren't, as they use trigs in both directions.

One of the results of POL->REC is purely arithmetical. I thought it was worth mentioning because it might use higher precision intermediate values than the equivalent operation using squaring, summation and square root that would be rounded to "normal" precision at every intermediate step.
