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

The accepted answer to date is inaccurate and doesn't take into account what happens when you add negative numbers to positive numbers. The below code addresses the issue and will correctly convert.

    public double ConvertDegreeAngleToDouble(double degrees, double minutes, double seconds)
    {
        var multiplier = (degrees < 0 ? -1 : 1);
        var _deg = (double)Math.Abs(degrees);
        var result = _deg + (minutes / 60) + (seconds / 3600);
        return result * multiplier;
    }
