what is easier 0 to TWO_PI or -PI to PI
(hope this is the right forum section) What is easier to work with, values in the range of 0 to TWO_PI or values in the range from -PI to PI? Or doesn't it really matter. If one is prefered please give an example where it shows off.
Answers
It would only matter at a sketch specific level for minor speed improvements if you can take advantage of negative numbers or not. Otherwise there should be no difference.
Personally I prefer 0 to TWO_PI to avoid negatives
other people also prefer that?
I'm with asimes - 0 to TWO_PI to avoid negatives. Also if you keep on adding to the angle then %TWO_PI is easier to deal with than adjusting for -PI to PI.
