Make Swift Assume Degrees for Trigonometry Calculations

Question

Is it possible to change a setting, property, etc in Swift for iOS so that it assumes degrees for trigonometry calculations rather than radians?

For example si

Answer 1

Adding an extension to identify the kind of value clearly would be a appropriate way to handle such a thing:

import Darwin // needed to get M_PI
extension Double {
  public var degrees: Double { return self * M_PI / 180 }
  public var ㎭: Double { return self * 180 / M_PI }
}

Pop that into a playground and see how you get the results you expect:

sin(90.degrees)  --> 1.0
1.㎭  -->  57.2957795130823
1.㎭.degrees --> 1.0
(M_PI / 3).㎭  -->  60.0
