The ►Polar command can be used when displaying a complex number on the home screen, or with the Disp and Pause commands. It will then format the number as though re^θi mode were enabled. It also works with lists.
i i i►Polar 1e^(1.570796327i) {1,i}►Polar {1 1e^(1.570796327i)}
It will also work when displaying a number by putting it on the last line of a program by itself. It does not work with Output(, Text(, or any other more complicated display commands.
To actually separate a number into the components of polar form, use Abs( and Angle(.
Error Conditions
- ERR:SYNTAX is thrown if the command is used somewhere other than the allowed display commands.
- ERR:DATA TYPE is thrown if the value is real.
