Normally, when the calculator is in radian mode, the trigonometric functions only return values calculated in radians. With the ° symbol you can have the angle evaluated as if in degree mode because it converts the angle into radians.

One full rotation around a circle is 2π radians, which is equal to 360°. To convert an angle in radians to degrees you multiply by 180/π, and to convert from degrees to radians multiply by π/180.

In radian mode:

sin(45) \\ actually calculating sin(2578.31)
.8509035245
sin(45°)
.7071067812

In degree mode:

sin(45)
.7071067812
sin(45°)
.7071067812 \\ There's no difference when in degrees

= Optimization =

When you only call the trig function once in a program and want it calculated in degrees, instead of changing the mode you can just use ° to save one-byte (the newline from using the command Degree)

:Degree
:sin(X)
can be
:sin(X°)
