JavaScript and XPages reference
This reference describes the JavaScript™ language elements, Application Programming Interfaces (APIs), and other artifacts that you need to create scripts, plus the XPages simple actions.
- JavaScript™ language elements (JavaScript™)
  The JavaScript™ language elements are based on the ECMAScript Language Specification Standard ECMA-262 (see http://www.ecma-international.org/publications/standards/Ecma-262.htm). The JavaScript described here applies to the server-side interpreter. Client-side scripts are interpreted by the browser.
- Simple actions (JavaScript)
  A simple action performs a pre-programmed activity that can be modified by arguments.
- Global objects and functions (JavaScript™)
  Global objects provide entry points to server-side scripts. Entering the name of a global object instantiates it.
- DOM (JavaScript)
  Represents a document in XML Document Object Model format.
- Domino®
  This library provides access to the HCL Domino® back-end.
- Runtime (JavaScript)
  The Runtime library contains classes that provide useful methods for globalization.

    - ceil (JavaScript)
      Rounds a number to an integer by truncating the fraction and adding 1.
    - cos (JavaScript)
      Gets the cosine of an angle.
    - deg (JavaScript)
      Converts radians to degrees.
    - exp (JavaScript)
      Gets an exponential power of e.
    - floor (JavaScript)
      Rounds a number to an integer by truncating the fraction.
    - IEEEremainder (JavaScript)
      Gets the remainder of a division according to IEEE 754.
    - log (JavaScript)
      Gets the natural logarithm (base e) of a number.
    - max (JavaScript)
      Gets the greater of two numbers.
    - min (JavaScript)
      Gets the lesser of two numbers.
    - pow (JavaScript)
      Gets a number raised to the exponential power of another number.
    - rad (JavaScript)
      Converts degrees to radians.
    - random (JavaScript)
      Generates a pseudorandom number greater than or equal to 0.0 and less than 1.0.
    - rint (JavaScript)
      Rounds a number to the nearest integer, with 0.5 rounded to the even integer.

rad (JavaScript)

Converts degrees to radians.

Defined in

Syntax

rad(value:double)
: double


Parameter	Description
`value`	A number of degrees.


Return value	Description
`double`	The value of the parameter in radians.

Usage

One radian equals 180 divided by pi, or approximately 57.29577 degrees.

Examples

This edit box is for the input of a number of degrees. Its onchange event changes the data value of another edit box to be the equivalent value in radians.

sessionScope.radians = Math.rad(sessionScope.degrees)
