UtilMath.<...>

Return to Introduction  Previous page  Next page

A collection of useful general purpose mathematical functions.

 

Properties

 

pi

Returns PI as a float.

infinity

Returns the floating point value of +INF.

       

Methods

 

degToRad(angle)

Returns an angle converted from degrees to radians.

radToDeg(angle)

Returns an angle converted from radians to degrees.

randomIntRange(from,to)

Returns an integer in the range from low to high inclusive.

randomSeed(seed)

Initialize the UtilMath random number generator with an integer seed (if you don't supply a parameter, it will initialize with the pc's timer).

angleChangeDegrees(from, to)

Returns a float for the difference in degrees between two headings/angles.  This allows for the wrap around at 360.0, so the change between 350.0 and 10.0 is 20.0.

 

Examples

 

var myval=UtilMath.degToRad(90.0); // 90 degress returned in radians
