learning how to do Polar Coordinates and add them.
[attachment=7270] I was doing this example in HP27s Manual page 155.

It was quite a task to do it in HP Prime.

programmed this in:
I used a Matrix to input on the calculator line
polar_coordinates(rectangular_coordinates(polar_point(M2)))

on the calculator line as a function it worked.

Tried to make it a program it did not work:
#cas
PP_PC():=
BEGIN
polar_coordinates(rectangular_coordinates(polar_point(M2)))
END;
#end
It gives an answer that is totally wrong does the programmer mode treat Matrix differently and how so?

On the Prime in Home you can do: 150∡30+80∡105
and you'll get: 187.381047821∡54.3550581337

I get the same result in CAS but it is displayed as a complex number. Copy the result to the command line and you'll see it in polar coordinates.

Thank you that works.
Funny I thought I tried this in CAS and may have been put off by the complex number(know as old timers). However, learned the definitive today regarding this adding of polar/vector/coordinates.
Thank you for your help.
I had the last point discovering why the Matrix does not work in the program and the error. any Ideas on that programming?

If this is your matrix: M2:=[[150,30],[80,105]];
Use the individual row vectors. For example:

[HOME]
polar_coordinates(rectangular_coordinates(M2(1))+rectangular_coordinates(M2(2)));

That runs on the home just fine TY but putting that line in the program has a terminal error.

RE: learning how to do Polar Coordinates and add them.
I offered that command line approach as general information. An example, (for your CAS program):

[CAS]
Code:

#cas
PP_PC():=
BEGIN
  //polar_coordinates(rectangular_coordinates(polar_point(M2)));

  M2:=[[150,30],[80,105]];
  approx(polar_coordinates(rectangular_coordinates(M2(1))+rectangular_coordin​ates(M2(2))));
END;
#end

You could also run the CAS program from [HOME] ==> Command Line: CAS("PP_PC()")

my original line was used in the Home under both regular and CAS mode it showed kinda spooky entanglement like behaviour when it added the matrix and produce the same result. My only question now is how do I get that function program PP_PC to the same.?
