According to TimToady on #perl6, "to be honest, we haven't thought
much about carp/croak yet."

So I'm using "die" until something better comes along.

Trig Functions "to-radians" and "from-radians"

[Tom Browder]

Those two functions are documented here:

http://design.perl6.org/S32/Numeric.html#Trigonometric_functions

but I have tried to use them with no luck:

  say 10.to-radians(Degrees);

Undeclared name:
Degrees used at line 9

So how does one use the two functions?

Best,

it seems that to-radians() is specified, but not yet implemented in Rakudo
(see, for example line 71 in
https://github.com/perl6/roast/blob/master/S32-num/cool-num.t; the test is
skipped for Rakudo).

BTW: doc.perl6.org is a good resource for documentation of the currently
implemented parts of the spec.  The written spec has also come to mean
"speculation" rather than "specification".  The specification is basically
the roast test suite at present.

Hope that helps,

Paul
