Easy way to keeping angles between -179 and 180 degrees

Question

Is there an easy way to convert an angle (in degrees) to be between -179 and 180? I\'m sure I could use mod (%) and some if statements, but it gets ugly:

/         


        

Answer 1

Here is an integer-only solution:

int normalize(int angle)
{
    angle %= 360;
    int fix = angle / 180; // Integer division!!
    return (fix) ? angle - (360 * (fix)) : angle;
}
