Algorithm to rotate a float value between 0 and 360 degrees by +180 degrees
I want to take a floating point number (which will be between 0.0 and 360.0) and rotate that value by + 180 degrees.
So 0.0 would become 180.0
90.0 would become 270.0
180.0 would become 0.0
270 would become 90.0
I am thinking of the following…
