What do you mean? Why are large numbers any different from small numbers in this respect?

Doesn't it only return an angle value? That kind of limits it to 360, so I'm not sure what you mean by large number either.

To be precise it's even limited to 180. Ranging from -1 to 1, DBP returns values between 180 and 0.

Also... what's a modulus exactly? The modulo operator? Apparently the term "modulus" has quite a few mathematical definitions, and I really can't tell which one is meant here.

I'm assuming he meant modulo.

Perhaps he's referring to a very large decimal precision?

I assumed he meant absolute value.

Either way he needs to explain what he meant.
