#include <codecogs/geometry/spherical/latlong.h>

	double	latitude (int degrees, int minutes=0, float seconds=0, char compassDirection='N') Converts latitude expressed in degrees, minutes and seconds into Degrees.
	double	longitude (int degrees, int minutes=0, float seconds=0, char compassDirection='N') Converts latitude expressed in degrees, minutes and seconds into Degrees.

Function Documentation

Returns an geographical location in degrees, minutes and seconds as a single numeric angle from the center of the earth, expressed in Degrees. There are a total of 180 degrees from the South pole to the North pole. By convention there are 60 minutes in one degree, and naturally 60 seconds in each minute.

Example:

#include <codecogs/geometry/spherical/latlong.h>
#include <iostream>
int main()
{
	std::cout << "New York is at a Latitude  of: " << latitude(40,47,0,'N') << " degrees" << std::endl;
	std::cout << "London is at a Latitude of: " << latitude(51,32,0,'N') << " degrees" << std::endl;
		return 0;
}

Output:

New York is at a Latitude  of: 40.7833 degrees
London is at a Latitude of: 51.5333 degrees

Parameters:

degrees	Degrees from -90 to 90
minutes	Minutes from 0 to 60.
seconds	Seconds from 0 to 60.
compassDirection	The key direction either 'N' for North, or 'S' for South.

Returns an geographical location in degrees, minutes and seconds as a single numeric angle from the center of the earth, expressed in Degrees. There are a total of 360 degrees around the world. By convention there are 60 minutes in one degree, and naturally 60 seconds in each minute.

Example:

#include <codecogs/geometry/spherical/latlong.h>
#include <iostream>
int main()
{
	std::cout << "New York is at a Longitude of: " << longitude(73,58,0,'W') << " degrees" << std::endl;
	std::cout << "London is at a Longitude of: " << longitude(0,5,0,'W') << " degrees" << std::endl;
  return 0;
}

Output:

New York is at a Longitude of: -73.9667 degrees
London is at a Longitude of: -0.0833333 degrees

Parameters:

degrees	Degrees from -180 to 180. if you need to go futher than 180 degrees east or west, then you should describe that location from the opposite direction.
minutes	Minutes from 0 to 60.
seconds	Seconds from 0 to 60.
compassDirection	The key direction either 'N' for North, or 'S' for South.
