Convert Degrees/Minutes/Seconds to Decimal Coordinates

Question

In one part of my code I convert from decimal coordinates to degrees/minutes/seconds and I use this:

double coord = 59.345235;
int sec = (int)Math.Round(coor         


        

Answer 1

Since degrees are each worth 1 coordinate total, and minutes are worth 1/60 of a coordinate total, and seconds are worth 1/3600 of a coordinate total, you should be able to put them back together with:

new_coord = deg + min/60 + sec/3600

Beware that it won't be the exact same as the original, though, due to floating-point rounding.
