We're glad you came by, but you might find what you're looking for elsewhere. TI-Basic Developer is not the site it once was. While its information on commands and other calculator features remains almost second-to-none, its forum, archives, and even hosting service, Wikidot, have been decaying for years. The calculator community would love to see what you're working on, or help you in your next coding adventure, but TI-Basic Developer is no longer the place to do it. Instead, you should head over to Cemetech (primarily American) or TI-Planet (primarily international). Both are active, well-established forums with their own archives, chatrooms, reference material, and abundant coding tools and resources. We'll see you there, we hope. |
R►Pr( calculates the radius component (in polar coordinates) given the Cartesian coordinates.

R►Pr( (Rectangular to polar radius) takes the (x,y) (Cartesian) coordinates, and gives the radius coordinate r of the same point in (r,θ) (polar) mode. The identity used for this conversion is r² = x²+y²
R►Pr(3,4)

√(3²+4²)

R►Pr({6,5},{8,12})
{10 13}The function works even when the equivalent √(x²+y²) fails due to overflow:
R►Pr(3e99,4e99)
5e99Optimization
R►Pr( is the smallest way to implement the distance formula $d=\sqrt{(x_1-x_2)^2+(y_1-y_2)^2}$. Just give the values x1-x2 and y1 - y2 as arguments:
:√((5-2)²+(4-0)²)
can be
:R►Pr(5-2,4-0)Error Conditions
- ERR:DATA TYPE is thrown if you input a complex argument.
- ERR:DIM MISMATCH is thrown if two list arguments have different dimensions.
