Getting Math.atan(1) to work

[ketoma21]

Why is this EFS not returning the right value for Math.atan(1). The Arc Tangent for 1 is 45 but I'm getting 0.785398xxxxxxxxx

function main() {

setPriceStudy(true);

var lAngle;

lAngle = Math.atan(1);

drawTextAbsolute(-5,14, lAngle,Color.red,null,Text.BOLD | Text.ONTOP | Text.RELATIVETORIGHT | Text.RELATIVETOTOP, null,11,1 );

}

I really need Math.atan() for one of my EFS

Thank you Very much

Replace lAngle = Math.atan(1); with lAngle = Math.atan(1)/( Math.PI/180 ); and it will return 45
Also see this article in the EFS Function Reference of the EFS KnowledgeBase for an example of how to derive the slope from an angle
