Polar

[Mickpc]

Hi folks. I am trying to convert a rectangular complex number to a polar one.

polar(1+2i)

doesnt return a value, am I on the right track and should it return a value?

Thank, you

Try polar_coordinates

That works, thank you.

Now to figure out how to make it work for daily use.

Hi Mickpc,

Even much more easy, with version 5447 (2013 11 25),

Enter your rectangular like
7+9*i
then press [SHIFT] then [x] //where the angle symbol <) is, and will show

11.40...<)52.12... // in degrees

or

11.40...<).90... // in radians

It help me much and I hope to You too.
best regards!!
