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

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 degree mode:

sin(π)		\\sine of Pi degrees
	.0548036651
sin(π^^r)
	0

In radian mode:

sin(π)
	0
sin(π^^r)
	0		\\There's no difference when in radians

Optimization

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


:Radian
:sin(X)
can be
:sin(X^^r)
