I'm trying to get a programmed text output from testing if a point is inside a circle. All of the points are either secondary ohms or degrees. The chuck of programming seems to fail if there are units attached to the numbers. See Below.

Thank you! That worked.

I attached the file along with the screen shot in the first, original post. This site must have deleted the program file. File attached now.

Hello Werner,

Because maybe the units of Secondary Impedance and degrees, the chunk of programming to decide if a point is inside or outside a circle fails. See attached.

Its hard to debug a picture - especially as you don't show the variables you use when calling the function and you don't show the error message which is thrown ...

Always attach the file (stripped down to the essentials) if ever possible and not just a picture!

Best guess i that the 10^-10 must be assigned the very same unit as the other variables!
If you don't need to know if a point is (approximately) at the circumfence of the circle, you can omit that part and simple distinguish between <= (inside) and > (outside).
